Tailed- Rhyme

This is my meager try at a tailed-rhyme
 flowing slow and steady spaced across the line
  hit or miss, a quality expressed but un-refined
    why write poetry so unfamiliar?

It was like a dream calling out loud to me
 marking a world surreal for me to try and see
  and easier it often fails to achieve the decree,
   why did ancient poets play this game?

Who's to say at the end of this scrawl
 other poets successfully give their poetic all
  but alas, all efforts surpass the mind's stoned wall,
  and me, I struggle with articulated eloquence.
