Ronald D Thompson Poet Rhyme

A Rhyme a Day

My head is ringing every day,
with all the words I need to say.
All I ever think is rhyme,
happens to me all the time!

I’m finding rhymes in all I see,
I’m in a matrix of poetry!
Am I mad I have to vent?
My disillusions, my discontent.

Then again, an upbeat theme,
so many topics I want to scream!
I’ll even write about a snail 
or come to that my big toe nail.

My wife asks what I’d like for lunch,
I reply ‘something with a punch’
‘You’re off again for goodness sake!’
but it was a perfectly innocent mistake.

Is every poet just the same?
We play this idiotic game,
where everything we ever think,
we have no choice but to ink.

Kim Merryman August 4, 2019 at 3:35 PM I enjoyed your poem, Ronald! It reminds me of an episode of an old TV show called "Bewitched" where the main character is put under a spell where she can only talk in rhyme. Blessings, Kim Ronald D Thompson August 4, 2019 at 4:21 PM Funnily enough I remember that episode now you come to mention it. Really appreciate the comment Kim. Best wishes Ron
