He rose to the occasion

The Lord made him Asian,
colored him a light brown raison,
with pearly whites that shined a glazing..

The Lord made him Asian.
He rose to the occasion.
No time for idly grazing,
 many new trails he was blazing..

The Lord made him Asian.
He was bold, absolutely brazen.
This man was so amazing!

Hi Nancy, I must backtrack slightly on my use of the term, Monorhyme.. when I read your delightful poem I was reading as if dropping the “ing” ending on “glazing, grazing, blazing, amazing” (which are their own rhymes) but I was reading them as if they ended in “in” like “glazin’, grazin’ and so on.. reading them by dropping the “g” made it like a monorhyme for me. I hope I’m making sense.. lol! Either way I read your wonderful poem, I love your rhymes here :))
