Do I have to ryme

Do I have to rhyme???



Because I never learned

how to turn

that clever phrase.



The rhythm of rhyme

escapes my mind

my brain refuses to work



And just to show

my talent won't grow

it took me an hour

to write these few lines




Author's Notes/Comments: 

It is my first and most likely my last attempt to rhyme.  I simply don't have the disapline

Every now and then I read a simple poem that has the feeling of words that not neccesarily rhyme, but go together and dance with each other. This affect has been succesfully portraid in this wonderful, and simple poem.

why do you need to rhyme? if you want to, just give it time poetry is a language for the soul one that knows no barrier so if rhyme is what you want, practice and make it a goal if not just remember my dear poetry is a language for the soul one that knows no barrier nice work, this is better than some of the ryhmes that i've read before, your efforts are shown... ...but practice and we'll see what the fruits of your efforts will reap... ...keep up the good work! GUNG HO!
