Persevere

I've been trying to write a poem Just to exercise my mind. But it seems to take forever Just to think up a couple of lines. I find it so irritating That I've wasted some much time But in the end its been well worth it Especially when the words all rhyme. A Brian Strand Rime Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Brian Strand
