Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Poem Picked Apart

I am a poem that I wrote

Myself in olden place and time.

A lot of love stuff I did quote,

And forced each line to end in rhyme.

I called myself Anonymous,

And for a while that was okay.

But then critics began to fuss

As I was read in modern day.

I did become a subject of

Scorn and ridicule daring to

Be of a rhyming way for love.

Complaints of me as poem grew.

So I rewrote myself free verse,

But now the criticism's worse.
