Rhyming Poems
Rhymes are great, rhymes are fun
Rhymes are fit for anyone
They can be happy, they can be sad
A poem about love, or the death of your dad
Easy to read and easy to write,
They flow through your mind like a cool wind at night
They can be fast
like a blast
from your past
'til at last,
harassed and aghast,
they have passed.
Or let's take a break and slow down for a minute.
They can be spread out and drawn out, it's my rhyme - you're living in it
They don't have to have structure, the rules flex and bend
It can rhyme a little in the middle or it can rhyme at the end
Rhymes are just great for showing creativity
Not fun for you? It's pretty fun for me!
You should give it a try, it's not like you'll die
Write a poem about the sky, or one that makes you cry
Or read some ballads, and maybe you'll see
That they can be serious, yet fun
Like the Cremation of Sam McGee
All this to say,
at the end of the day,
If you hate poems that rhyme, I guess that's not a crime
But maybe, just maybe, I have helped change your mind
