Sunday Scribblings "My Style"

Written for Sunday Scribblings prompt : My Style

MY

STYLE

Fake this line, write it in quick time slowly

Right side up wrong side down which way to go

Everest is the highest mountain still

Every day someone tries to change the rules

So you want to know what my style is hey?

Then you’re going to have to give and take

Yesterday was different to today

Lines come and go, tomorrow who can tell?

Every day is different to the next.

I’ve not got a lot to say about form

Soon there will be more forms than there are poems

Many times I try to do the right thing

Yet, every time I fail and fail again.

Still want to know hey? Freestyle is my style

Too many people try to get it right

Yesterday was simple, now things are hard.

Lessons are continually being taught

Every day something new makes me forget.

    this is a sort of riddle isn't it? but i think i've cracked it. if you read the first letter of each line downwards it spells out FreeStyleSsMyStyle

    clever you!

    It's like that on mine, too. I thought you were doing it on purpose, that it was your "style" but I can see it is that way on your previous post, too.

    Love the poem, though!

    I really liked the poem! It has a style that can never be mine, as I'm not that clever with my writing! Job well done!

    Thanks for commenting..I have to laugh at your comment about me being busy though, because that post didn't have the half of it! Read on to find out just how busy I am! *LOL*

    You prove that Freestyle is definitely Style! I love your contradictions, especially "quick time slowly." And I enjoy your resonant sounds that don't quite rhyme, as well as the internal rhymes ("not got a lot etc).
