Rhyme Scheming

I'm rhyme scheming.

Trying to chime each blob

into shape,

Trying to preserve meaning.

         Praying not to break

         the precise machining

         of every sob.



What a torment.

The worst part made

When great ideas drown

in nonconformance

         to the bounds,

         the stubborn soreness

         of the cage.



But they say

It's disciplinary.

A professional patience

applied to the verbal fray.

         Conversations

         subject to spays.

         How utterly scary.
