THE RHYMER

Raven333

Am writing poetry in Rhyme,

                                                                  I have been doing it for a long time.

                                                                           Some people don't like it,

                                                                            They think it's child's play.

 

                                                                                   I can not help it

                                                                                That's just my way.

                                                                                    I talk in Rhyme,

                                                                               Without even knowing it.

                                                                            It flows right through me,

                                                                                       Like a true poet.

                                                                                   Mr. Edgar Allan Poe

                                                                             You know the poet we all know.

                                                                                   Well, he wrote in Rhyme

                                                                                He became famous in his time.

                                                                              I just like the way it sounds,

                                                                                     I don't count syllables

                                                                                         I just write it down.

                                                                                           I tried to change up,

                                                                                            And be like the crowd.

                                                                                                   It's not for me..

                                                                                                I am a Rhymist.

                                                                                             And I will dam sure,

                                                                                                   Say it loud.

                                                                                               If it's not your taste,

                                                                                             I completely understand.

                                                                                                I will not hang

                                                                                              My head in shame.

                                                                                               And let my talent,

                                                                                                      Waste away

                                                                                                 Because I like writing,

                                                                                                      What I feel.

                                                                                                  I think for now

                                                                                                     Am here to stay.

Am writing poetry in Rhyme,

I have been doing it for a long time.

Some people don't like it

They think it's child's play.

I can not help it,

That's just my way.

I talk in Rhyme

Without even knowing it.

It flows right through me,

Like a true poet.

Mr, Edgar Allan Poe

You know the poet we all know.

Well he wrote in Rhyme

He became famous in his time.

I just like the way it sounds,

I don't count syllables

I just write it down.

I tried to change up,

And be like the crowd.

It's not for me..

I am a Rhymist.

And I will dam sure

Say it Loud.

If it is not your taste,

I completely understand.

I will not,

Hang my head in shame.

And let my talent

Waste away.

Because I like writing,

What I feel.

I think for now,

Am here to stay.

    Don't ask me what happened, I don't know...

  • Justa_Geezer

    Raven comes flying out of her nest, To show this world how she writes best,
    Both her heart and soul doth she invest, To prove her words wll stand the test !

    • Raven333

      LOL, That was AWESOME!!! loved it...Thank you

    • Blueledge

      That's somewhat of a coincidence. I was unpacking from a move last night and came across my Edgar Allan Poe compilation.

      • Raven333

        On my God, NO WAY!!! That is Crazy...

      • evenwheniLie

        Yes you are a rhymer and you have meaning too, don’t let anybody discourage you.

        • Raven333

          I thank you very much and yes I don't focus on HATERS. there are a lot of them out there.

        • Doggerel Dave

          Of course I'll vote for that
          I'm always first to bat...

          • Raven333

            Thank you so much Dave.

          • Goldfinch60

            We all write in our own styles Tammy and it does not matter, it is the way that we want to put our words on paper. Good write.

              Thanks so much Goldfinch, and I agree we all have our own..

            • tallisman

              Rhymes forever! We need T shirts people! We will have to form a band of wandering poets called “Ravens Rhymers” , doomed to wander the earth quoting EAP to free versers. We will worship at the feet of Raven and Doggerel Dave will be our general!

              • Raven333

                LOL, I LOVE IT TALLISMAN!!! I thank you for your support.

              • tallisman

                Strangely I have tried free verse and I can’t do it, so nothing but respect to those who can. I have a compulsion to rhyme…

                • Raven333

                  You know I am the same, I have tried to get away from it but I can't. It just is who we are.
