Rhyming For Me!

by Snazzy

Published October 28, 2015

E - Everyone

In Poems

Poetry can come

in many different ways...

Some of them don't rhyme - 

and I ask, why this phase?

~

I always fail, 

at poems that don't rhyme.

They end up in the trash-

they waste all my time.

~

Sure they're emotional,

they definitely show it.

But when it comes to non-rhyming

I'm not a poet.

~

Most people are good at it,

but mine always end bad.

"Band-aids are for wimps"

was an end, one had had.

~

I'm not being mean-

I have nothing against free-verse.

Just sometimes I wish

They'd take a ride in a hearse.

~

(And run off a cliff,

and wreck in the tree tops.

And then catch on fire,

and forced to eat rag mops.)

~

My non-rhyming poems,

I don't have much to say.

But I'd take rhyming ones

any time of day.

(A/N: I tried to keep spaces between, but they won't stay when I publish... :( )

Greetings! This is new for me (reviewing poetry), but I'll give it a gander!


It's a little funny how you would expect a poem about not liking to rhyme would be not in rhyme....? Or maybe not, I don't know. (It would be ironic, though!)

For me, the second-last verse is completely random. Not unnecessary, but random. I like it. It's funny and I think it makes sense. To me.

I really don't have much else to say other than that this is cool and a good poem. This is strange because I don't really like poetry. But I liked this one! :)

I have probably been no use to you, but I guess that knowing that at least one person likes this is good. (Or several people... You get the idea.)

Hey there! TwilightMuse has come to review!

I found this adorable and funny, a very well done poem all together.

was an end, one had had
I feel like this line doesn't work very well. The "had had" just doesn't fit. I understand that it rhymes but there is probably a better way to say it.

and forced to eat rag mops
It might just be me but I don't really understand what this part means. Maybe another line would work better?

But I'd take rhyming ones
any time of day
I really like this as an ending, I think it's a concise way to end and it fits very well

Great poem! Can't wait to read more from you!

Nice! I read this like it was a beatbox battle.

Don't really know what you mean by (this phase) Are you trying to say it doesn't rhyme?

That's it!

I don't have much to say

But I will write any reviews for you

any time of the day!


Bye and keep writing with your great mind!

Hi Felistia here with a short review.

Ha ha. That was clever and funny, a bit like what I meant to do with my I Hate Math one, but much better. This is almost perfect. The only problem I have was that I think in the line (they'd take a ride in a hearse) it felt a little forced. My favourite part was the ending. It was a neat way to finish the poem.
Have a great day/night
