A 45-year-old northern Ontario man is free after spending more than a month in jail over his poetry.

Daniel O'Neil had been in custody since his arrest October 10th for using rhyme to invite a girl under 16 to sexually touch him two days earlier.

O'Neil met the girl through her boyfriend, passed her ananti-depressant pill, and a note with a ``roses are red'' poem thatwasn't so sweet.

O'Neil was released for time served and will be on probation for18 months.
