Time for a rhyme ...
Take the title of your poem and line by line based on the title create a piece where every two lines rhyme ... this is similar to couplets, but for this challenge it will be more like an agnostic. The first letter of each line must be in bold ... minimum title length is three words and they must read straight up and down ... your piece should have NO spaces between the lines and the last three lines MUST rhyme ... if this seems confusing, I will start it off and you can come look to see what I am explaining ... the winner will receive a Prime Time Rhyme award certificate ... make sure you tag me as: @Danceinsilence in the comment box and not in your actual write. Failure to to do this will prevent me from finding and reading your work sooner ... the winner will be chosen based of rhyme ability, style and ingenuity ... have fun with this!

Rhyme Time by Line

Rhyme Time by Line

Remember in youth when

Happiness was every day back then?

Yesterdays and youth,

Millenniums via history seemed uncouth.

Envision life from youth to old age,

Taking decades of life worked at minimum wage.

Incessant are the memories, those moments we live,

Muttering obscenities of all the take and give,

Everyone, everything gone, nothing left, not even a love song.

Busted because the rules say you are, and you just move along.

Youth behind us ever so far,

Languishing in those moments sublime, like a fading star,

In as much as we choose to forget periods of filled with rife;

Now we are faced with the reality of human strife,

Enveloping, struggling, yet cherishing our own human life.

One Extra for the Halibut … (No Title)

Little Miss Tuffet,

met Jimmy Buffet.

She said her name is Maddy,

and that Jimmy is her daddy.

Jimmy had no clue,

and as a rule,

he thought, no way,

but didn’t know what to say,

so he excused himself and ran away.
