How to Write an Unrhyming Poem
So many believe in the importance of rhyming:
A scheme, a pattern, meter and timing.
I feel it’s my duty to turn this on its head -
So I'll write a non-rhyming poem instead.
...damn it.
I swear I can do better if I focus and think;
I have all my tools: pen, paper and ink...pot.
Each verse I control, no one writing but me
At my old trusty desk with my strong cup of mango juice.
I nibble my pen and stare at the wall,
Concerned with my pride and it taking a slight trip.
My name as a poet is firmly at stake -
And here I thought it’d be easy as baking a flan.
I've decided on sticking to what I know best
and hold all my poetry skills close to my bosom;
Never show how new poems, all shiny and bright,
Are written with rhyme-schemes so they sound just the way I like them to.
I just got around to passin by your page, don't feel bad, i haven't really been on much lately. I have read your newest poem, and it was beautiful, I thank you for sharing something so personal, and I promise to comment on it as soon as possible. I already printed out a copy so i can take it to work and work on my comment. I miss you! *hugs* hope all is well. *tosses a yahoo your way*
I know I didn't give much of a warning, Sparky. They wouldn't let me get to a computer or phone or anything. I didn't even know I was going to be in the hospital for as long as I was... There is an explanation in my journal that should explain everything. If you have any questions, you know how to get a hold of me.
Damn, that was ridiculous. I've been so good not to let anyone see that side...other then, you know, the people who are normally around me...that was horrible...
