Monotonous Boring Verse

Monorhymes: monotonous, boring verse Often thoughtless, constructed in reverse Never flowing freely, quite the converse Only ever poetic slime, coerced Requiring at times phrasing less diverse Harsh, all grit and grime, tortured, strangely terse Yet perhaps not - one can find them quite perverse! Maybe include acrostics, intersperse, Embed monoku’d sweet rhymes when traversed? Surprisingly, a sublime universe! ————— for the SINGLE STANZA MONORHYME Poetry Contest sponsored by Milt Hankins written 10/4/22 This contains a monorhyme, an acrostic, and an embedded monorhyme that is also a monoku

No one like a smart ass…. Oh… okay, everyone likes a smart ass. I very briefly contemplated an acrostic monorhyme but opted for an easier task. Congrats on your win, Jeff. Terry

This is so tricky, and yet you have pulled several poetic devices off in one poem!

I think the trick is to find a line of rhymes that will go together nicely with your topic and yes add in other things like acrostic, alliteration etc…

Delightful soliloquy on monorhyme Jeff. Very creatively crafted! You really put a lot of thought and sweat equity into this one. Best wishes for the contest. I have a feeling it will see a very high placement! Blessings my friend!

Thanks, Sam. Not so sure as Monorhymes go, but fun to stretch a bit!
