Another Poem Without a Prize

Another poem without a prize
The lines don’t rhyme, don’t satisfy

Poems with horizons and blazing clouds
Winners write with floating shrouds

These rhyming predicts take me back
To kinder days on railroad tracks

You see, you see, I can rhyme, too
My words can swirl an awful brew

But me, I’d rather not construe 
Rhymes for poems to ballyhoo

At last, all ye, I do respect
Your words in glory, your idiolect
