The Question of Rhyme

The Question of Rhyme Mistakes Mistakes The higher the stakes The greater the sound The fall makes Action Reaction Funny transaction More than provides A perfect distraction A dream a dream Leaves dreamers to scheme To be able to fly Divine and supreme A twist of fate That causes debate But rarely seems Appropriate A rhyme a rhyme Seems almost a crime Being able to hear A thought so sublime Where oh where do these rhymes go? How does the brain relate them so? The gleam of music seems to glow Trade a sound for a rhyme It’s Quid Pro Quo
