Ilaria Hobbs Poet Rhyme

My Poems Dont Rhyme

My poems don’t really ever rhyme
I’m never good with words

I’ve never studied poetry 
or lessons to be learned

But that can’t stop my needing
My desire to be heard

To scream and shout into the void 
When my heart feels burned

So instead of rhyming like I am
I only write free verse

And usually my final draft
Is really just my first

I say what comes into my mind
Launch it free like a bird

And pray the words that I set free
Will show me to the world

Yehoshua Yochanan October 3, 2023 at 8:00 PM I like it! I can relate with you very much. I never studied poetry as well, I just saw and read some, and it inspired me. I never knew how to make a poem that rhymes before. I lost my words many times, but I still waited. I waited for the opportunity to reach out my hands to the void, and pull out whatever I can get. And then there it was. I finished a poem Ilaria Hobbs October 4, 2023 at 7:38 AM Your comment itself is like a poem! Thank you!
