I go back and
forth on whether I
should make an effort to make
my poetry rhyme
in order to make it seem
more poetic(?)
but my thoughts
don't fit into
rhyme
and when I try to
force it,
the rhymes feel
fake
and rigid
and I feel like rhyming for
the sake of rhyming doesn't
inherently make something
good poetry
and I hope that if
we can give Kid Rock
a pass for rhyming
"things"
with
"things"
I'm hoping you
can give me a pass for
writing a poem that has
nothing to do with Father's Day.
