Have you every tried to write a really good rhyme?
And what should take a second, takes much more time?
The rhythm's wrong, you trip on each word.
Your brain makes up things you thought you heard.
Counting syllables and drumming out a beat.
It makes you want to turn and retreat.
A poem should be easy, a piece of cake!
But each stanza is awful, you're a poetic fake!
Take this rhyme, that I just jotted down.
Yes, it may rhyme, but a poet would frown.
My attempts are clumsy and elementary, my dear.
I just don't have a true poet's ear.
But does that stop me? Oh, no! Not I!
I'll keep plugging away, give it the ol' college try.
And when I get stuck, I'll just give a sigh.
Until all that's left to say is "Bye-bye!"
I love it! I'm not even going to give it a try. It would take me weeks to achieve a big #poetryfail. ;)
ReplyDeleteI wasted many hours already on my attempt at a rhyming picture book. At this point, it's personal!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love poems! Rhyming poems are very underrated and underused, imo.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it but I am no poet.
ReplyDeleteWritten one but too ashamed to show it.
Instead I come to say thank you so much.
For the words you left, for my heart they touched.

I love reading poetry but I'm no poet. I think poetry writing is harder than prose. Cute little ditty you wrote..:)
ReplyDeleteI find rhyme really difficult so I won't be trying either but this made me smile.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot fail unless you try - that's true.
ReplyDeleteBut you can't succeed unless you try - some do!
Maybe that will be you...
If you try. :-)
Great poem :) Keep on plugging away...you can do it!
