Is there a reason I love rhyme?
When critics now think it a crime:
"Rhymed poetry's not worth a dime,
It's as old-fashioned as ragtime,
Free verse poems are most sublime."
Yet I'm still rhyming all the time.

Is there a reason I love rhyme?
True rhymes are hills I love to...

Without reason rhyme would not be sublime.
Un-metered runs of tale-tossed words, un-timed
would reasonably scatter like broken chimes,
petering-out upon the parchment page of springtime.

Without season time could not unwind
in measured meter with unearthly reason kind,
scattering broken bits like brittle finds
across the fragrant fields of summer time.

Without...

Where is the rhyme; where is the reason
Discrimination takes many forms
Cultural differences enrich us
Why should others conform to our norms

Religion’s often the cause of wars
Each should be free to worship their way
Where is the rhyme; where is the reason
Judge others not by the way they...

The headlights were upon me, with no time to react
My mind and body shut down, so I never felt the hard impact
I remembered not using my seatbelt; I didn’t want to wrinkle my new suit
I was being honored for an accomplishment in my lifelong work...

What’s the reason for the season 
     What’s a rhyme without a reason
Celebrate calibrate nothing like it does equate 
     Jesus Christ was born today in a manger far away 
He was born for me and died...

When you touch me like that
I like it so much that sometimes I forget to ask
Whatchu touchin' me like that for?...

It is silly and it's sad--
and at times it's oh, so bad--
It's all so very crazy, but it's life.
First you're thought of, then you're born,
Before you know it you are torn,
Everywhere you turn and look there is strife.
Everybody draws their plan--
Every woman, every man--
Yet the...

Just sit here and rhyme 
I could do that all day
But when my rhymes show no reason
Means Ive not much to say

I dont do it for me
Not doing it for you
When I just rhyme without reason
Just means Ive not much to do

When all thoughts slip...

Do you believe in love at first sight?
Suddenly someone makes this life so bright
Sweet, enchanted melodies you hear, it seems
Eyes shine with so many desires and dreams
I felt the same the moment I saw you
For eternity I wanna be only with you
Once again your thoughts...

To some fears there's neither rhyme nor reason
  No remedy or cure, nor age or season

A phone (call for a date) can weigh 1,000 pounds
  A weather-beaten house, the haunt of eerie sounds

A request to speak impromptu can the stomach upset
  A...

You will never have me again
I trusted when you held me
I felt connected when looking into your eyes.
There are some things that should never be
all thoses tears fall from the lies.
You will have to live with what you did
if the bones in you care for...

No rhyme or reason, this prolific verse
Comes flooding forth, least none can be explained
By blows to head, nor tumor sprouted, worse,
No courses in linguistics entertained.

Commencing with a rather simple dare
To cut the snark, to soften it with rhyme,
Yet in the midst, longing discovered there,
With lilting...

When You Are Old Poetry Contest
Sara Kendrick


Yeats' poem describes his courtship that sank
With his misconnection he is bitter
And he takes digs at his beau's true glitter 
Alluding that his fire drew her blank

He paints a now-and-then picture of her
Saying he'd be the one holding her...

It's a turning point in time
A history that tells of lies and crimes
One percent shepherd and 99 blind
Led to the slaughter in a single file line

Be it less or more the same
We must shed our skins, forget the blame
See ourselves with love not shame
To ease...
