When People Say, I Can'T Rhyme

When people say, "I can't rhyme" Believe me, I don't give them time "You are lazy", which you want to hide Instead, you may please confide Rhyming demands hard hard-work And you made noise "quark! quark! quark!" You told, "I don't want to go to school" Because you think schools are for the fools I think, people who refuses to learn Time will test them and hopefully burn Their lazy words of shortcut turn Would find no way home - to return I love free verse, but rhyming is there too I love Haikus' too and make those bijou If you want to try, I can give you clue(s) But, please don't sound like a cow, " moo! moo! moo!" 03.04.2018

Haha! Actually it has happened in reality. For last few weeks, we 50 poets from India were writing collaborative verses for publication. There I made a proposal of writing a Pantoum collaboratively. But, because of some non rhymers, we have to drop the proposal. And this is my reaction... Hugs, Bobby
