you know the feeling that you get

when the thoughts you have perfectly fit

as you lay them out side by side

word for word, line by line

in the knowing of what you did

loosening threads from the poetic lid

how many times has it been tight

in your endeavors to twist it right

pouring out all there is

all you have in all that's left

in the mixture of pure delight

word for word, line by line

until you have the perfect rhyme
