Rhyme's Lament
A poem without rhyme
Doesn’t seem to be a poem.
‘Cause rhyme’s what makes a verse
And no rhyme makes no sense.
Now that’s what ASCCA wants
So rhythm’s what I need.
I’ll put three beats a line.
Then rhyme screams out “Hey You!”
“All verses need a rhyme.
Don’t leave me in the cold.
You know it will upset me
And I can’t handle that.
Please put me in your poem,
You know I love it there,
And rhythm needs his buddy.
To make your poems sing.”
