I'm trying to work out how
I'm trying to work out how much you're 'tongue-in-cheek' there, Luigi!
Light easily-understood verse generally conceals much thought and hard work and editing. This is often not realised, and verse that seems 'deep' and unclear can be thought much cleverer. Maybe the sounds of the words are pleasing even if the 'message' isn't so easily understood. One can feel a fool admitting one doesn't follow the meaning! Rhiannnon

yes, agree, though I think I
yes, agree, though I think I was actually not so much thinking of the serious message often in light work (though that is certainly true), but that the work in producing something structured to be easily readable and understood is often not realised and appreciated. Those with a particularly serious message that they feel very important and of great significance to the world for them to say, sometimes don't appreciate the need to work on its clarity to others.

I think anyone who can write
I think anyone who can write with metre and rhyme and still say what they mean to say is very clever. I can't :0)

Thankyou for that. I think it
Thankyou for that. I think it's a lesser form of expression. I am interested in how you do it? Do you have to steer the poem past the rhymes as if they were obstacles at the end of every line? Does your poem go places dictated by the rhymes you find?

I think free verse is sort of like unskilled labour. I have been on ABC for a long time under various user names and there seem to be lots more strong rhyme and metre. Do you have any tips, as someone who can write this way with such ease?
