A matter of opinion.

narrative verse

A matter of opinion.

 

Some people say I am perverse

 because I choose to write in verse.

The kind of stories I compose.

 They think I ought to write in prose.

 

They have the right to I suppose.

But I won’t do as they propose.

I much prefer to write in verse

Because I think there’s nothing worse

 

Than badly written boring prose.

That is the reason why I chose.

To concentrate on rhyming verse.

 I see no reason to reverse.

 

My original decision

to conform to your opinion.

I do not choose to write in prose

I am convinced that I would lose.

 

My rhyming capability

reducing my ability.

To write my words spontaneously.

I don’t expect you to agree.

 

Although I am compelled to write.

You’re free to exercise your right

To read or not as you choose to.

Though I confess I hope you do.

 

I know I can’t please everyone.

That is something that can’t be done

By any writer though they try

A truth no writer can deny.

 

Your comments are of interest

 they spur me on to do my best.

We can agree to disagree

 on which is best quite easily.

 

 A poet must choose poetry.

But other writers are quite free.

to share their thoughts written in prose

Because they choose to I suppose.

 

If you should doubt my competence.

I will not choose to take offence.

 You are entitled to your view

Please remember I am too

This is amazing. I love this piece. I found myself smiling the whole way through. Smooth to read, the rhyming excellent and the subject matter very fun. :)
