.rhyme Is A Crime Comments

Don't worry. It's only a misdemeanor! Justice is blind and you didn't write in braille. Cheers! Chuck

My friend you are one fine criminal! Excellent composition.

i read it till the last line. without falling asleep, and its not that i had red bull. you are terribly good! ! :) we need more poets like you.

You said it in rhythm, you said it in rhyme You've said what I thought for a very long time You said it so well, and you said it with humour Poems which rhythm and rhyme are passe, not true, it's just a vicious rumour

I've had the same battle in my head many times, but never found such words - or rhymes! - to express this. Excellent work. Paul.

Bra-vo. I'm not so good at rythm and meter, and I've stretched a few rhymes, but to me - those are the things that differentiate an essay from poetry.

L, L, L, LOL! Which is hard to do with tongue in cheek...but I loved the humor (and truth!) in this one...keep 'em comin'! !

A fantastic poem this. Loved the rhyming scheme. Your Vocabulary is amazing.

Now this one I like, your my kind of poet! I don't think its boring so that's why your scoring a TEN!

Very nice, I enjoyed this poem, it's a great way to start your collection off! I actually had written two books of poetry (personal books haha) and each one starts with a small poem. Very nice. -Alyssa

If rhyme IS a crime then well both surely be... doing a life sentence in the penitentiary. I love how this poem says to don't but it do. I anticipate reading more good stuff from you. RH

I`ve just discovered you thank goodness I thought all the rhymesters were dead except me archie langford

Bridgid I once got wrong for writing too much ryhme, I was told it was false/ who cares anyhow only the person writing it.If it makes them feel good, then they are only commiting a crime to the person who thinks it's false, then you know what I say to that.How false is the person that is reading it. Loved the poem it got my brain working scored 10 from me Cheers Sylvie

But - sputter sputter - you're spreading dactyls like butter!

Oh, what punch, Bridg! ! ! Damn I wish I'd got to this one first! ! ! Damn! ! ! Hey, you ought to read 'Rhyme Is Not Dead' by Herbert Nehrlich - it's your poem's partner piece. Oh Bridg, I want to do it like you! ! ! But listen, was this a response to some kind of attack on your writing? I personally enjoy a range of poetry including writing that works rhythm, imagery, feeling, as well, of course, as rhyme. But to each his own. Anyway, have a 10 on me and take my best. Gina.

WOW...the Poetess has spoken quite eloquently at that! what an awesome poem...excellent job...i loved this poem!
