Tongue in Cheek

Tongue in Cheek

What is it about rhyme
That so defines a poem
Throughout recorded time
Rhyme’s a poems honored home.

Yet many have there been
To prove a home’s not one
And timeless time’s we’ve seen
That having more’s more fun.

While rhyming does persist,
It always has a home,
There are those who resist
Whose words demand to roam.

Rhyme to me does not appeal
I find it can be jarring
It takes away from the idea
With which one has been sparring.

So, herein lies my ode
To poets who’re defining
Their works a little differently,
Not choosing to use rhyming.
