Rhyming

I don't think that poems always have to rhyme,
Because I was looking at my watch and noticed the nice colour,
Sped downstairs and opened a book,
When the whole house suddenly vibrated,
But anyway, I got back to the text,
They were poems in fact, I couldn't wait to see what was after.

But as I read and read, and read some more,
I noticed a pattern, and headed out the house.

I went to a neighbour and asked him,
"Do you read rhyming poems, Mr Timton?"
He nodded back, and began to explain,
That without poems rhyming,
They were just too plain.

So now that I know,
You will see my work grow,
And now I will rhyme,
All of the time!

Poetic License!

So apparently I need to learn to rhyme, So what if I can't it's not a crime, Maybe I need to go back to school, Then over lyrical perfection I can drool, Or maybe I just write what I feel, That way...

Come on in the morning, Something's wrong, Where are those people, Singing their song. In those few, short hours, That I was asleep, What exactly happened. It seems, a heap.

Weasel!

Write a poem about weasels you said. The thought of weasels fills me with dread. Nothing really rhymes with weasels you see. And I'm all about the rhyming and that's just me.

Acrostic Great Divide

Acrostics acrostics everywhere. Colorful bright they are. Roses in the dark. One for those so close and far. Sinful not to display. The greatest works of art. Ignite inspirations flame.

Poetry is far more emotionally charged if it doesn't rhyme. However, I personally find it incredibly hard to write a poem that doesn't rhyme, as it is so hard to find the correct rhythm.

@Nom Yeah, but I'm not trying to say anything about rhyming in the poem, just writing for the fun of it :)

The whole poem is about rhyming?!

@Nom No I know, but I meant I wasn't tr y

@Nom trying to actually say anything, it's fiction :)

@OllieBoyne even fiction tends to have a meaning :)

@Nom I know that :)

Cleverly done. Had to read it a couple of times before it clicked. Nice post!!

@Stenataar Thanks :)
