.........Reasons Against Rhyme

Rating: 5.0


For the sake of the rhyme
The reason was lost
Irreverent doggerel
Was the only riposte

Lexical reparation
Always sounds the same
Words are jostled into position
A rhythm to proclaim

For clarity
Prose knows no bounds
It’s about what is said
Not the way it sounds

Dumb struck
I’m drowning in a sea of word
All I can think
Is many ways to write absurd

Enslaved by symmetry
With parameters defined
Rhyme is rigid
A constant echo in the mind
