A rhyming poem,
or endless babble
Resembling much,
A game of scrabble
Words put in,
Just cause they fit
Yet true meaning,
They lack it
Rack you brain,
Attempt to rhyme
Trying to decide,
Upon your next line
Short for time,
You think faster
Sound and lanquge,
Become your master
You go crazy,
Lose your mind
All sanity,
You leave behind
You take a breath,
Let out a sigh
All rhyming poems,
They must die
Encased in words,
Your thoughts confined
I'll end this hypocracy,
This is my final line

Alas, my dear I must protest
Yes for myself and for the rest
Every phrase is set in time
If we bless it with a rhyme
A simple rhyme means so much more
Than all the words you're searching for
The things I'm feeling are so strong
They're bursting out into this song
So do not mock our rhyming ways
Because out words are sure to stay
A simple over stated rhyme
Means so much more if you take the time
And try and see what's underneath
This hypocracy of which you speak
Something pure and much more real
Than rhymeless words with no appeal.

haha I love it, both of you! Very clever. I would rhyme something myself but I don't actually write, I just read others writing...

yes Elisha i must agree
you said it all for you and me
for rhymes they are here to stay
letting us know in their own way
they won't be left out or forgotten
they won't be chucked out or left at the bottom
you see, dear friend, rhymes are cool
you know you love 'em, don't be a fool
and james dear, why ever not?
did you not learn, or simply forgot?
you really should remember dear
they're only words, they're not to fear
now i must dash, my fearless rhymers
don't hold us up with unrhyming silence!

wanna know why?
With you the words feel like a breeze,
They all play nice, totally at ease.
With me they fight like a bear,
Just something else for me to impair!
yeah its short, I have alot of homework.

Point be made
You like your rhymes
But we can go back and forth
A million times
How can you let
Your thoughts be confined
Theres so many words
They should all be mined
Theres are some words
"Purple" is one
Look for a rhyme
It has none
Yet still your preconcived notions
are already made
Your poetic groundwork
Is already laid
Change your minds
I know I can't
And on this note
I'll end my rant

You have an argument, it's true
But you don't realize what you do
You proved the point she tried to make
Your reputation was at stake
And so the words flowed from your tongue
And formed these lines so fresh and young
You changed your passion into rhyme
So like she said, it stands through time
So mabe you should look around
At what in arguing you've found
Rhymes are more than what you say
You proved it in this game you play
Say what you will, it's still the same
This ending to your scrabble game

this poem is
a showing of
a rhyming wiz
we all have no real life

Well I don't know about you, but I for one do have a life. And the only thing that's dumb is people who judge a work of art by something so stupid as whether it rhymes or not rather than what it means.

My rhyming ways you're free to hate But I'll just tell you this If you lack meaning in my poems There's something that you've missed My notions are not preconcieved I'd never sink that low And there are meanings in my rhymes That no one else could know And deeming this a simple game Is sorry and it's hurtfull And if you would expand your mind Then you COULD rhyme with purple You say rhyming poems must die And you're free to state your mind But don't compare art with a game This thing that's so divine I put emotion in my words And you, you must be blind If you can say it's meaningless This wonder that is rhyme |

what matters is the quality of the work not the standards or set up for that is just a way to put it how you want it taken

Lost in Translation
Transcending language and time
Words, ideas outlast rhyme
In what language do you write
Think and you’ll find the plight
My grandmother once read to me
A rhyming German poem of antiquity
Translated, so that I would understan’
It lost its meaning, poetic plan
Look at us rhyme away
What would an Argentinean say?
Would he comprehend
Our rhymes would not extend
