I’d love to write some poems,
poems of my own.
Ones which people love to read,
so I’d become well known.
I sit with pen and pad in hand,
the words just fail to flow.
I scratch my head and bite my nails,
a poem just won’t grow.
The other day a line appeared
inside my fuzzy head.
But could I find some words to rhyme?
I wrote some prose instead.
If they can do it why can’t I?
It’s not for want of trying.
My friends can do it, it’s not fair.
Sometimes I feel like crying.
I really need to practice,
invest a bit of time.
And try my very very best
to find some words wot rhyme.
That didn’t help, at least I tried
I don’t know what to do.
But wait a minute, something stirred,
A feeling that’s quite new!
Here goes
Oh poo!
I guess I’ll never make the grade
I’ll never be a bard.
Poetry is not my thing,
it’s far too bloody hard!
- nothing rhymes with silver…or month or orange or purple or pint or wolf……..
.
Then write free verse! 😉
That’s an idea! This was of course written in jest, I actually have a separate poetry blog – No Rhyme or Reason
I will check it out too.
Well done! I enjoyed reading it.
I might have another go then! Thank you
Um, yes, you’re probably right. You should be happy, though — after all, not everybody gets to be right. 😉
And by the way, slupr’ll
nicely rhyme with purple
Whoops. Typo … supposed to be slurp’ll…!
I can be a poet, but I failed miserably at being a secretary.
You’ve just taught me a new word! I’m sure it will come in very useful! By the way, I do write poetry sometimes and it’s over at –
No Rhyme or Reason
Funny Keith.
A few ideas: You can get close to purple with Turtle, white with pint, deliver for silver at a push, grunt with month, arrange could go with orange: depends on your context I suppose (and I cheat a lot LOL)
There is an expression for words that almost rhyme, but I can’t remember it! – or what it rhymes with!
hahahaha!
It’s okay, write the poems you want to read, and don’t worry about anyone else!
Absolutely, and I do sometimes- over at one of my other blogs – No Rhyme or Reason
