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
