It's stormy again tonight. Heavy rain, lighting all around me. It's truly beautiful. I love a good storm. With the back and front doors open to take advantage of the cool air, smelling the wet, rainy smell through the whole...

rockandrolldad @rockandrolldad (66) • United States 2 Nov 09

As a writer of poetry, I wonder what other people consider to be poetry? I know that some people only consider poetry that rhymes as being the only true poetry. Then there are those that love free verse the only true style. While...

Free verse or Rhyme schemes?
