Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Poetry Time

     Poetry time
     Every line chimes
       Stop on a dime
       A buck for a rhyme

    What’s a meta for 
    Similes are, like, a bore
      A terzanelle’s attractive 
      Tho a villanelle’s more proactive 

    Witches vex trochaic pentameter
    Curse iambic HEXameter
       Traditionalists eschew free verse
       Blank verse is that much worse… 

    Romance, a hackneyed chore
    While humor is adored
       Satire rates high too
       Tear-jerkers ~ boo-hoo

    Poetry time
    Elbow grease and grime
      Lines sparkle and shine
      Craftsmanship sublime
