Rapid Rhyme

Rapid rhyme,
 who has the time
when steady and deliberate
 is more delicately exhibited.
Giving it a try
 but my fingers are denied
this rehearsed terse 
 is unfamiliar verse
dancing in nerve endings
 poetic form I'm pretending
of exhibitional imposed prose
 reveling mysterious majestic flows,
painting a picture more vivid
 with words less inhibited.
Now I'm stuck
 questioning my luck
at rhyme that makes me squeamish
 tried failure or success, this contest is fiendish.
