Here's just a couple of forced rhymes
echoing through your ears like windchimes
My Poetic mindstate doesn't initiate voodoo
but I freak out others like a damn Zulu
sword swinging ahead it's gonna chop you in two
use simplistic words to rhyme? You bet I do
I could say words like barbeque
but that would all just be taboo
and it would fester on my work like mildew
I'd rather rendezvous at Timbuktu
then misconstrue these rhymes to you
all those who hate rhyming criticize
basically my work needs to modernize
I'm penalized as they brutalize
and I realize I don't organize
look into my eyes
they don't hypnotize
and to your cause I don't sympathize
you chastise everything about me
and you can't foresee this catastrophe
I know I'm not what you want to be
as I decree contents all I guarentee
rhymes.....I guess they only decorate
maybe I shouldn't rhyme at all
since most deem it childish
a poem speaking generally to the heart
are words that don't sound the same....
now that makes more sense to me.
I could write a poem that would be appealing,
it would appeal to all the elder gods of poetry
a poem that would make the world bow down before me
"All Hail King Heckle!" the crowd would chant
and no one could ignore me.
but here I am.....Using forced rhymes
I guess that makes me less than a man
I guess I'm just a lame duck in a large pond
so full of others who flourish in the mainstream
gather together young ducks
so that with a shotgun the hunter can take four
maybe five of you out with one spreadshot
and I the lame duck away from the crowd may watch
in silent laughter.....
rap is always forced rhyme! lol..and i like rap, so there...lol...it was actually really cool! I like the format i think...it sounds like it should be a rap, even if that's not what you intended! goos stuff...really fun! Hhave a great day! -Shawnothan
I personally rarely rhyme because I almost always write Haiku and rhymes just don't work well, but I read this aloud and enjoyed it. It has not only rhyme but a good rhythm to read. Ryhme on!
i like rhyming poetry.. thanks for sticking up for it... just cause we rhyme doesnt mean its lost meaning.. sometimes it adds to it.. i hate when people think they're better or more sophisticated because they dont rhyme... its just a different style.. i like how you broke this up... to show what you can do, right? dont let people get to you.. write whats in your heart...
I love the fact you defend rhyming. I myself am a hardcore rhymer. I dont reallly care for much poetry that doesnt rhyme. It must really be something that touches me if I enjoy it and it doesnt rhyme. I salute you my good friend, and *hands you the rhyme award* give you this as a sign of my grattitude to your master rhyme. :)
As I read it, I was just thinking how fresh it actually sounded. And just as I thought that, I got to the "modernize" rhyme and it was pretty ironic...ya know, like 'King Kong' ironic, like 'I was just thinking modern rhymes and you mention the need to modernize' ironic!
So then you're spitting rhymes and the style seems oh-so right but people say we shouldn't rhyme anymore so we
decorate
and everything changes and it's still good, but fvck...
it did seem really natural and effortlessly done.it sounds like yuo came outta the womb rapping.i look up to cats like you who don't force half-assed punch and they have nothing to say.rapping is poetry regardless. read my piece ODE.u'lll get how i feel bout it,kinda.~nahlij
