Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

The Challenge

The Challenge
By Franklin Price

The challenge of a rhyming poem
Having rhythm to it too
Is much like living daily life
In everything we do

The Ebb and flow of words on page
Contemplation for each phrase
Planning for our lives tomorrow
Contending with remaining days

Don't think too hard to find the word
That makes sense and will belong
Live your life with no regret
By doing right and never wrong

Think about the story 
How the reader it will touch
Give  of yourself to others 
Don't think of yourself so much

The words will come if meant to be
As will the rhythm and the rhyme
The challenge of the life we live
Will resolve itself in time

Albert Price March 1, 2016 at 5:37 PM This is a very comforting read. The substance of it appeals to both the poet and the theorist. Franklin Price March 1, 2016 at 10:07 PM Thanks Albert, please come again

Karam Misra February 29, 2016 at 6:08 AM What you wrote, my friend, is crystal clear And so beautifully put to light One need not toil or labour hard Everything will fall in place, there's no need to fight.

Arlene Binner February 28, 2016 at 7:51 PM In my opinion, this is a well constructed poem with a meaningful message.

James Tate February 28, 2016 at 9:33 AM Aha! You've made it sound so easy. And for you I believe it is. I have to work a little harder, but it gets easier with time. And, being an octogenarian, I've had quite a bit of time.
