Rhyming Poems

Rhymes are great, rhymes are fun

Rhymes are fit for anyone

They can be happy, they can be sad

A poem about love, or the death of your dad

Easy to read and easy to write,

They flow through your mind like a cool wind at night

They can be fast

like a blast

from your past

'til at last,

harassed and aghast,

they have passed.

Or let's take a break and slow down for a minute.

They can be spread out and drawn out, it's my rhyme - you're living in it

They don't have to have structure, the rules flex and bend

It can rhyme a little in the middle or it can rhyme at the end

Rhymes are just great for showing creativity

Not fun for you? It's pretty fun for me!

You should give it a try, it's not like you'll die

Write a poem about the sky, or one that makes you cry

Or read some ballads, and maybe you'll see

That they can be serious, yet fun

Like the Cremation of Sam McGee

All this to say,

at the end of the day,

If you hate poems that rhyme, I guess that's not a crime

But maybe, just maybe, I have helped change your mind
