to those who do not like rhymes,
it does not mean that you're uncouth
or you're unsophisticated
or a product of your youth

it may mean you don't read aloud
to hear how the words might sing,
rushing words quite unabated,
to hear joy the sounds might bring

if you dare to heed my advice
and hear angels start to sob,
fascinated, captivated,
orchestrated, consecrated,
the poetess has done her job
