Go on sad one

[Erthona]

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them all. In terms of meter I often have turns in my poems (iamb to trochee and vise versa), it is neither intentional or unintentional, I simply don't care as long as it does not disrupt the reading. I rarely write in strict meter anymore, not because I can't, or think there isn't a place for it, I just prefer the freedom that comes when I don't have to worry about it. Plus I find that people get too focused on the form rather on the content. This is not to say one shouldn't learn to write meter, that knowledge, when it becomes intuitive is the cornerstone of "good" free verse.

I did want to specifically address Stephanie's comment. I appreciate the thought but you see, he will be in his grave when the sun goes down, so I could not change it to play.

Thanks again for all your comments, even if I don't use them they are still beneficial, as they force me to have a rationale for the way I did it rather than the way you suggests. So Thanks again
