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!

I’m stuck and I can’t get out

In the paper! I’m stuck in the - oh can you hear me?

My voice has been swallowed all but visually

Set on the screen, in front of your face

The words all hate me, get me out of this place!

Unfortunately, I fall through the o’s

(Current events have too many of those)

Kindergardeners write them WAY too big

Although don’t get me started on high schoolers’ trig

Never again can I symbolize theta

Dangling from the mid-bar was much too meta

In case you can hear me

Can you set me free?

At least give me something real easy to read

Narnia maybe, or The Sunflower Seed

Traditionally you'd ignore strange voices

Golly, I hope you make better choices

Everything relies on the fact that you will

Track the right book and subdue it with skill

Oh! My time situation is quite rather dark

Up ahead, the acrostic will end on the mark

To free me from prison, just get me a quark...
