Autoplay

You reference a stomach
and whatever's a tarst
by rhyming tomb with dumb
and taste with last;

and lace and doom
(and make a side-swipe at a lover)
by rhyming last with taste
and dumb with tomb.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Michael Walker 04 January 2020

There are many sorts of rhyme, including off-rhyme. I could say a lot more about rhyme in modern poetry. Very stimulating.
