No Right Answer
Poetry and I
Are joined by a common thread
Considered by some an obstinacy
But most appreciate the freedom
To appreciate the worth in everything
The refusal to take a side
Because there is no Right Answer
Poetry has no limits or binding rules
Rhyme scheme, meter, shape, and even grammar
Beautiful but not required
Playing tennis without a net
Can be just as fun
And just as beautiful
Poetry allows me to love everything
Without having to put anyone in the wrong
Not like English with its warring Grammarians
Not like Politics where parties "can't" collaborate
Not like Math, which in calculus allows for infinite solutions
But is still just a tease because certain methods will always be non-negotiable
Not like music where musicians demean many of their comrades of different genres
Not like personal life, which people try to stereotype, "hate on", and take sides
My life's ambition to see some good within all people, situations, and ideas
Is very relieved to take a rest
While I am able to write in all poetic forms
And appreciate all work
Without being told I am wrong
I appreciate this
Because I know that in life
There is no right answer
There are many right answers
