I’ll conjure up, create, compose
a poem, which to you, I s’pose
sounds easy, like a piece of piss:
put pen to paper, make ‘em kiss!
How hard - you ask - is writing rhyme.
It takes no talent, only time,
you’d think! Though don’t dismiss desire,
and muse, who forges in the fire
sweet inspiration from the gods:
not wasted on self-centered sods!
Just wordsmith wizard wielding wand,
rogue rhymester, who of words is fond,
a poet proud, with poise and pose,
who pisses on pathetic prose.

Anyone can rhyme
It only takes a bit of
Er? Er? Cake?
Made me chuckle. Thanks for that
You're welcome 😊. Just a bit of fun. Someone said to me that anyone can write rhyme. So I penned this. 😆 lol😁
Hmm, I know this is a bit of fun, but it seems to look down on prosaic poetry. I love rhyme AND free verse, if it is well written and poetically expressive. The free verse of Sylvia Plath or T. S. Eliot can be simply sublime! Long live poetry, in its many forms and guises, I say.
Apologies. I love prose. I was just messing. Someone told me rhyme was easy. So I let rip. 😁
No apologies needed. Rhyme can be difficult to do without it coming across as being forced or stilted. You avoided those pitfalls admirably!
I can't say that last line after a sherry or three! lol.
🤣. I know, it is a bit of a mouthful. 😁 thanks for taking the time. 😉

Awesome!
thank you, dear Poet
Thanks LB. I apologise for the language. I usually try to keep my poems clean. Just in a funny mood.
no need, it was language used with purpose
the poem wouldn't be the same without it..
if you're not hurting anyone
express yourself as you wish, dear Poet
Although I only write in rhyme, they can be difficult but as you say the "muse who forges in the fire" must be present! Good one!
