Confined By Rhyme

My life has been confined by rhyme
Not in my prime as each limb I climb
On rhyme I fixate all of the time
A penny a word, maybe a dime
When the word won’t come, I pantomime

Oh wow........I would have placed this one higher........it has more than one meaning, I think I am reading between lines. Well done, Carolyn. I hope you are doing better day by day!

Very nice rhyming Carolyn. I constantly rhyme myself. My kids think I'm crazy because I always make up songs using rhymes.....Hugs Tim
