Ars Poetica in Iambic Pentameter

POeTRY seems to follow a RYTHM,

yet may be called a FREE-FLOWING, -FORM STYLE.

SYLLABLES must be counted for each line

and RhYME shall each even line for a while.

IMAGERY shall be displayed in TEXT,

ApOSTROPHE's shall remove extra claps,

and meaning hides in the STANZAS, unseen

by who see no meaning in varied cAPS.

POETS may be simply misunderstood

as ARTISTS that use WORDS rather than oil,

yet each has a MESSAGE they will CONVEY

to onlookers and READERS they wish spoil.

Each WRITER makes their very own STORY

with a UNIQUE ending and HISTORY.
