To Rhyme or Not to Rhyme...Messages of the Heart

The title for this piece of work, To Rhyme or Not to Rhyme, Messages of the Heart came to me as I reviewed some of the pieces and noticed the unconventional rhyme schemes. It is a compilation of events, situations, or circumstances either experienced or witnessed, that made a significant mark in my life. Written to evoke your emotions, each message intently speaks from my heart. These messages deal with life, love, and relationships. Some of the messages paint pictures of happy times, allowing the other participants to relive the joyous moments. Other messages depict not so pleasant circumstances. A few messages are personal observations of outside situations and relationships. Whether you emit a small smile, laugh out loud, or release some healthy tears, I want you to be touched by one or more of the 'messages of the heart.' The person who was never interested in poetry should develop a newfound appreciation for this genre, as did I while working on this project. The literary critic can analyze this project, and offer tips for my future endeavors. May you read this work over and over again. Enjoy!
