Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

This looks like a perfect poem to me my friend. And when I read your title I wanted to scream YOU!. lol. I'm glad you enjoy it where you are. I know there are always downsides but to be happy the majority of the time is the goal.

Hi Sasha!
Yes, this is fine, fluid-flowing free verse. Forte is spelled right. If you want to be super precise, you'd have the same special 'e' symbol with a line atop it that you'd see in cliche. But US English does not require it.

This works well without punctuation, though I personally think a few things might be good, like a ? at the end. A dash where the enjambment is awkward would also aid the perfect flow. A line break for a breath before the closing sentence would also be good.

Example:

Being me
is a continuous
adventure
here in Mazatlan--
friends are
abundant and the
laughter never stops

why
would I
want
to be anyone else?

Not reviewing much lately. Nice to see you after a long time.

Warmly,
rd

Nice to see you here again too.

reply by the author on 20-Nov-2019

The sight doesn't like that symbol. It freaks out and flags it when you try to use it.

I think this qualifies as a free verse, although I'm not an expert.
I love that you're living your adventure in Mazatlan and even more, I love that you share your adventures with us.
Keep up the good work.

I am not sure of what the rules are for free verse, but I enjoyed your writing of a poem. I hope you will maybe write a few more poems.

Ya know what? I have come to believe that is right...to be YOU is a continuous adventure. As you regale your readers, you've proven that joy can be found in the most dire of circumstances.
Enjoyed this little free verse very much, Sasha

I don't know much about free verse myself, but it sounds good to me. It does seem that being you is an adventure and it's always good to be able to laugh at ones self and with others. Well done. Rox

You did it!! Why indeed would you want to be anyone else. The laughter never stops due to your positive attitude on life and your hilarious sense of humor. From what I can gather, your life has been a continuous adventure since day one of your life.
and, it is still unfolding.
Thank you for writing and sharing this poem. I loved it.
