Can you make poems rhyme?

this poem is definitely...different

A poem without constancy,

 

Whatever will you do,

this poem may be strange and it might confuse you.

 

I will try something different, I shall,

Maybe so,

Lets try something different and see how it flows,

 

This poem will be mixed,

I have no clue why,

Just read it with joy,

And try not to cry.

 

Maybe you're a poet,

Can you make poems rhyme,

That doesn't matter,

Should they really,

Be in time?

 

What will people think,

Four lines and then five,

Rhyming then no rhyming,

Will they feel deprived?

They may feel cheated or scarred or more,

Thinking about this will make your brain sore.

 

Five and then six,

This poem may be mad,

It flows does it not,

But does that matter a lot?

It makes no sense to me,

Maybe to you,

Seriously though I don't have a clue.

 

I write what I wish,

I wish what I write,

Ideas usually come to me,

In the dead of night,

I may be a poet,

Or not I don't know,

My whole life ahead of me,lets see how it goes.

This is sweeeet!
I enjoyed so much to read this. this is simple yes in wording but inspiring in message, flow, and execution from beginning to end. I want to compare you to a writer, and before anyone implies this to be insulting when I reference a children's author allow me to give my context.

In my childhood up to about the age of eight I never cared much for reading, writing, and most importantly poetry. then came a day in school we were taken into the library for a reading which was normal... however that which was read at least to me was not and never will be less then genius.

It was Shel Silverstien's " Where the side walk ends ". Simply put his original subjects of writing in the sense of what I saw as unconventional blew my mind and his flow to me was masterful. It was like the first time someone had said "hey, you... this is your soul" I dare say you share his gift to make that level of impact on people with works like this.

I mean to convey my absolute love of this piece, and your ability to stoke such great ideals and feelings in people as my inspiration did me. His writings some might describe as child's play but I say a poem about a girl who couldn't be found because her messy room enveloped her written with great flow and even moral of the story aspect being quite creative.

I hope none of this to be mistaken as anything less than heart felt admiration for the beauty of this piece.

Love this verse!!
Limitations on poetry are often a dagger to real creativity. It flows and I did not have to re read any of it. Made me smile

I love this! It's so quirky and fun, yet the message behind it is very important for poets to know. Rhyming doesn't really matter as long as the author is putting within the words a piece of themselves that is purely honest. I just love this, and find it very fresh compared to the more structured poems :)

can't spell well I couldn't now if I look up I can see the red reminding me
Calisthenics make you strong, repetition teaches your brain to come along
Me I love to be Free and not let any thing lead me.

a fun write !

this poem reminds me of life. because it has some flow, some pattern, but it's not consistent and it 's not constant. poetry doesn't have any rules besides the ones we give it, and life is limited only by our minds. an interesting parallel and very cool free verse :)

Who Knows? But I wish you really, truely good luck and I loved the sponteneity.
It's all over the place, like real live things should be!! Great stuff.

This is a fun query.
Poems certainly do not need to rhyme.
If they do so...
They do it in their own time!

When I write poetry, I generally do not attempt to rhyme.
If it happens....it happens.

My intent when I set pen to paper...
Or digits to keyboard...
Is simply to flow.

[oh,hey.]

[Terohime]

[Terohime]

Anytime, hope you read some of mine ^^

[oh,hey.]

[Veronica Chandler]

I loved the spontaneity of this piece almost as much as the content therein! You took me on a trip and I did so enjoy the ride.

[oh,hey.]

Just saw this... glad you did!
