Poetry Plead

Remember rhyming schemes can seem overly keen
And religion is rather contentious.
A limerick's too light and a little bit trite
And free verse is somehow pretentious.

Haiku is not only for trees
And no earnestness please!
Your sonnets will fail to impress me.

Talk of personal strife
Or the meaning of life
Will only manage to depress me.

Also tone and theme do not need to contravene
The barriers of commonplace reality.
And of all that I read, the thing I really do not need
Is a dose of pompous morality.
