THE RHYME, MY GREATEST CRIME

jvl narasimha rao

For an immature poet like me the rhyme

Becomes the greatest crime

 

I want to write a poem on a piece of soap

Or the greatness of the Italian Pope

 

I talk about the faithfulness of a pet dog

Or the great utility of a school bag

 

I can write a poem on a match stick

Since I feel, for poetry there is no yardstick

 

Somebody thinks my poetry is rather Awkward

I can no longer go any forward

 

He feels my poetry is meant for un-schooled

I don’t think I am even a bit fooled

 

He opines my poems are mere mush

And I am making unnecessary fuss

 

In fact I am very much cooled

Because I think I am correctly ruled

    Ya, I quite enjoyed it! Since rhyme generally defines poetry for wee me, then I shall not charge you with criminality in using it, but rather congratulate you. And the essence of "poetry" aside, rhyming is jolly good fun, especially when paired with rythm......don't you agree? Thumbs up to all your rhyming!!!!
