Rhyme Poem by Thomas Ware

Rhyme



Astound the hound who bounds around,
The evil tree,
Whose knee is ripe with misery,
And woe, for woe, for woe is me,
So let's just see,
Whose misery is greater,
You or me.

But before that,
I'll rhyme inside your mind until you're blind or dead inside,
Tit-for-tat,
I rhyme sometimes but always find,
That hindsight shows that you're behind.

And you are blind,
If you can't see I'm always right,
Except when I go left,
For the warp and weft of life,
Is rhyme without reason and reason without time,
And so I'll rhyme inside your mind until you're blind or dead inside,
And then we'll see whose rhyme is stronger,
You or me, for the line is ever after getting longer.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This one is a little nonsensical, but it's one of my personal favorites. It sort of makes sense in a disjointed sort of way, but I loved writing this because it's all about the rhythym and less about the words, and I love rhythmic, musical poetry.
