An unintelligible verse,
Is worse than a curse.
A badly worded rhyme,
is a literary crime.
Instead of rhyming ‘bird',
With a word like curd,
Some people are plain absurd,
And will use lacquered.
Poetry is emotion,
Expressed through lines,
Not word commotion,
Going off like mines.
The rules of grammar,
Have to be in place.
So please don't anger,
The grammarian populace,
By confusing their and there,
And misusing you're and your,
And using any word anywhere,
And thinking your poetry is pure.
Big words make not a poet,
Hyperboles won't add to the meaning,
So when you poeticise please know it,
Short stanzas are more appealing.
