Yes Rhyme Bless Rhyme - Words:188 - Rated ASR - Week 2 pr. 1

When writing, I like to rhyme
It just feels so sublime
And when the thought ought
to be caught, (is that rot?)
with a sound to be found
to make it resound
well, I'll be bound
to fly with feet on the ground!
(am I being a dog hound?)

So yeah, rhyming's my style
I'll go the extra mile
I'll heap the words on in a pile
I'll make a folder of a file
Without guilt, without guile
(Don't lock me up in jaile!)
I'll even let my spelling start smelling
Cause I'm not dwelling on gelling
With those who are quelling my telling
of my feelings, dealings, reelings
Ceilings
or floors.


Free verse? Yes, it's good, if you could
do it well, then you should.

But it's
not
just
a
sentence
broken up
vertically
it's got to
have
something poetic
to make it stick

An interpretation,
a metaphor
a thought half stated
at its core

otherwise
it's just prose
that goes
up your nose
and tickles
to make you sneeze
causing a breeze
PLEASE
this is getting silly
You've reached the word count
willy-nilly
STOP!
We beg!

* Do you prefer reading poems with rhyme and rhythm more than others? What about writing poems? Is free-verse really poetry???
