My Poems Don't Rhyme

Contributed by MJC on Saturday, 31st July 2004 @ 08:51:37 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

I choose not to rhyme my poems.
To many set out to write today with only the rhyme,
And lacking the reason.
To me a rhyming poem feels like a cage,
It holds back emotions, thoughts, and meaning.
These always come first in my poems.

I choose to write a poem with purpose.
A poem that inspires,
One about love and hate,
Truth and lie,
And about the resolve of the human spirit.
I do not write nursery rhymes for bedtime,
My poems have meanings within meanings that keep you up at night, deep in thought.
I write poems with ideas spilling of the page,
Ones so deep you need to read them twice before you can even begin to grasp them.

My poems don’t rhyme.
My words are free to jump from one line to the next,
Expressing them selves and stirring emotions you’ve never felt,
Without fear of retribution from a writer with a one-track mind.
These are the types of poems that challenge ideals and bring down the walls of conformity.

I don’t write poems to please your ear,
Rather to satisfy your mind,
Overwhelm your heart,
And shake your soul.
My poems don’t rhyme.

This site is a rainbow of choice, and no one as good or bad, but each unique and alone. Fore each heart and soul and mind they all come from, all have but one thought......to share.

I like the variety, and the unique thoughts. From the profound, to the rhyme, happy, sad, love and hate.......and the nursery rhyme above all........which behind lies a heart and mind and soul.....untouched and unmatched.

Thanks for sharing.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
