    Poetry Should Rhyme:

    I cannot for the life of me,

    Compose a verse rhyming, A,B.

    Try as I might the words will not,

    Form coherently! ‘tis my sorry lot,

    To watch them squirm and flail,

    Trying to paint my image to be,

    My wording will not inspiration curtail,

    I long for my inner wordsmith to be free!

     

    For shame you horrid beast,

    You mock me, limit me,

    You have robbed me of my release!

    Here I work, busy busy bee,

    And you care not, that art is not,

    Bound by rules, tempestuous fiend!

    You would see me starved, left to rot,

    All because I’ll not conform to you.

    Sorry could have sworn I had replied to this. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment! I am a shameless fan of dry wit, and whilst a little dubvious about this little tryst into the territory, none the less enjoyed writing it. Narrator.

    Unique display :) Clever way to parallel the mind. And the way you finished the poem by breaking the spell (so to speak) caught me off guard. Creativeness like this is inspirational.

    Thank you Deep Eclipse! Your breathtaking insights never cease to enthrall. I enjoyed writing this one very much.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
