Notes About The Poem

I Am Rhyme

I Am Rhyme
by M. Griswold

A Rhymist I am, I will not deny.
If I didn't write, I surely would die.
It seems no other form can construe.
Rhymes flow out of me as if on cue.

I’ve tried to compose in other forms.
Yet, the lines never fully conforms.
I fight to write the right words to know.
Those metered lines that are hard to flow.

But I must admit, I'm no good at it.
All those other forms of poetry writ.
So, I return to that which flows free.
God's special lil' gift, given to me.
