I Don't Like Rhyming Poetry
you take the time
to craft a rhyme
and someone cries "blank verse!"
it can be a curse.
that rhyme's forced, doesn't seem to fit:
it's not natural, has little wit.
have you not read modern poetry at all?
your lyrics are dull and your rhymes appal.
your rhyme scheme in that stanza didn't work,
are you trying to be clever or just a jerk?
the pattern of the words makes you look like a berk.
i suppose it's like expecting physics from a patent clerk.
have you not tried to be cutting edge?
write to order or you won't get your wedge.
or is writing a hobby: something to pass the time?
don't you know, modern poetry doesn't rhyme?

| Lol, true. With me, my poetry always rhymes, but it's natural. If I ever have to try and think of a rhyming word, then it's not a good poem because I'm trying to force it and so I just delete it. |

| hahaha! Brilliant. I know exactly how you feel |

haha. i agree. rhyming poetry does seem really forced.. with people inverting sentences frontwards and backwards and sideways and just basically losing all respect for the english language. now if i read a poem and the rhyme seems to just 'be there' then i'm like, yes! and it makes me happy.
blank verse doesn't rhyme... but it's really hard to write!
er.. sorry, rambling.. am going to go sleep now! |
