Rhymes and Reasons

To budding new poets who value your time The very best option for you may be rhyme Though simple by nature a rhyme says a lot Like words on a cake that your mother has bought For rhyme is the frosting that covers your poem A time of defrosting for lovers at home The dance of two words in a meter you fill The romance of birds in a sweeter new bill The part of a writer is cheap in a way The heart of a fighter you keep on display The groove in your past is the way you begin To prove you can last on the day that you win Now poems which are pretty are never so free But those which are witty are clever to me The sound of the voice that you share in the ring Is bound by the choice of the care that you bring So if you like writing and singing as well But nothing exciting is ringing your bell Nor anything priming the spring of your mind Then maybe your rhyming is something to find.
