Anais Vionet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

rhyming

Poems don’t have to rhyme, free verse it isn’t a crime
I can write what I please—don’t call the police.
Must I play the game, rhyme and spill intimate things?
Can I develop leitmotifs without rhyming riffs?

I could claim I’m writing prose - yeah, be one of those.
No one can rhyme all the time.
I can refuse—I’m no Dr F-ing Seuss,
Damn it! ? See? THAT didn’t rhyme.

Fun songs for this:
Ain't It Fun by Paramore
It's All Your Fault (with Katie Shore) by Asleep At The Wheel

Gordon Mcconnell February 15, 2025 at 4:07 AM Nice one Anais, I love rhyme and it's only rhyme I do other than the odd acrostic and even it's mixed with some rhyme. I don't feel able to do any other type of poetry so I play safe and only do rhyme. I'll send you a SM later as your bio makes me want to say a few things regarding it. Have a great day, Gordon Anais Vionet February 15, 2025 at 6:16 AM It's hard (for me) to make natural soinding rhyme. What's an SM—how do I see them?
