April Thirtieth
last day
of the month of poetry.
is it time for rhymes?
oh hell no!
rhyme is the crutch
that doesn’t mean much.
rhyme is metaphor
for those who keep score.
never! more!
never more! nevermore!
forget the rhyme, take the time.
don’t be slime.
put the lime in a coconut,
shake it all up!
save rhymes for a different way,
for another day.
alliterate
don’t commiserate.
linguistically leverage language
let’s linger lovingly
today jump into the fray!
sashay away.
a rhyme in time…nevermore!
shake it all up!
last day
of the month of poetry.
don’t be lazy,
be crazy!
is it time for rhymes?
oh hell no!
