\"Tools<\/a>
<\/p>\n

Some writers who refuse to write in rhyme point to it being a form of rebellion against the old order of supremacy, racism etc which was typified by rhyming poetry.<\/p>\n

I love rhyming poetry and am liveral, indeed often radical in politics, and quietly mused if this is so, what does it say about me???? <\/p>\n

Its time to strike the balence, to have rhyming poetry about the radical issues, fair trade, freedom, liverty, etc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tools of the writers trade are the pencil and pen and paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>Words of form fashioned in beauty
\nOften placed in ordered lines and ranks
\nBy those whose order of their desiring
\nIs founded in hatred, oppression, has drank
\nFrom the chalice of Pride as if were not poison
\nFrom which sooner would they die of thirst
\nThose of hearts of beauty and the joys of God and man
\nUnlike these writers who desire the worst.<\/p>\n

But them… in their folly of rebellion
\nWho smash form and order to chants applause
\nCreate such chaos in the name of formation
\nThat follows no structure and obeys no laws.
\nHow is it that hearts of beauty
\nForge but brittle metal in the fire
\nYet those smithys with the black hearts
\nForge the verse and form the reading voices desire?<\/p>\n

Each on reading if judged by the form
\nAre the opposite in the creation of their art
\nThe ugly minded create the prosaic beauty
\nLeaving the polluted to the pure of heart.<\/p>\n

Can each not write to their nature
\nHow lovely for the world if it was to be
\nBy his art we could judge the man
\nI read and wonder how this all reflects on me!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
