I’m pretty near out of my tree
For nothing rhymes with poetry.
I’m sending out an urgent plea,
I’m getting down upon one knee,
Does anyone, a he or she
Know words that rhyme with poetry?
I normally rhyme to a T,
But rhyme this time I cannot see.
I’ve given up, oh woe is me,
How could this ending come to be?
I blow a fuse, I scream and curse,
I quite refuse to write free verse!
Rhymeatism

I read the submission requirements for a poetry magazine (I think it was) the other day. It accepted formal poetry, but if one thought that rhyming with words like “led, said, head” was poetry, he was wrong. I’m not sure those were the exact words, maybe 2 of 3 are. But I thought that was just another way of being “high and mighty” and so much better than those “rhymers”. I don’t think there’s a thing wrong with rhyming one syllable words. Why would you have to use “trigonometry, symphony, and cacophony” to make it poetic? 🙂 Enjoyed.
What was it? “Dyslectic Poetry Weekly”. Best keep away from most of these poetry “experts”. 😉
