Rythm and Rhyme
Where have all the poets gone,
give up rhyming every one,
rhythm joined with rhyme well done
was once the way that classics run.
Alas, now no one reads the verse
of rhyming poets, and what worse
as they die off no more will come
to keep alive our wordsmith fun.
Is it now that minds depart
from seeing beauty in this art
or maybe none can see the need
to weave a web with literary seed.
If pen on paper flows with ink
then wouldn't I be right to think
that words, as well, should flow along
and fall on ears as poet's song.
Where have all the poets gone
that write, when all is said and done,
their words to gently roll and run
to give their readers much more fun.
