Poems Slip On Slime

POEMS SLIP ON SLIME You claim you’re a poet of modern generation Specialize in making love sonnets of your time, Words shape the theme of deformed relation Syllables succumb to the strike of forced rhyme. Fragile imageries borrowed from alien nature Sliver sentences of parody the meaning mimes, Love in heartless sonnets can’t stand the torture Escapes unexpressed through the holes in rhyme. The grimy ink from your pen doesn’t stop to flow Even if the lame poems break slipping on slime, How to put words again in place you don’t know For you’ve sunk in sonic cacophony you call rhyme. The rhythmic pulsation of the poet’s warm heart I don’t feel, your frail words fail to transmit to me, It’s time in your inert poems you need to start Imbibing vibrant cadence the way it should be.

Powerfully penned Subimal , I hate to read forced rhyme or even near rhyme in poetry of any sort but seeing it in sonnets just makes me stop reading also in limericks as it often means the poem just doesn't make sense ... see it all too often these days:-( hugs Jan xx
