Creating a poem was hard to do It had to rhyme all the way through Choosing what you want to say The words must fit in the right way You must be wise, and of course clever To succeed in this endeavour The special thing about a poem The rhyme of verse, that alone It makes you think, touches the heart You cannot but help to love this art The thoughts they flow, images race Everything falls into place It matters not if you're unknown or have fame As long as the last words all sound the same It's the rhyme, that made me Fall in love with poetry But now poetry is high brow Stilted words Fragmented sentence Fill the spaces with thought To find the meaning RIP the poor rhyme
