I Hate Slant Rhyme

I Hate Slant Rhyme

A Poem by Emilybe
"

During April, for National Poetry Month, my English teacher gave my class a bunch of poetry assignments, one of which was to write a poem in slant rhyme- a style of which I'm not that big a fan.

"
I'm not fond of slant rhyme
I'd rather let my mind and pen together roam
and write whatever I want
than use this ugly literary device
this despicable device which I despise
which for some absurd reason, the poet,
Dickinson, felt the need to popularize
It's National Poetry Month
and instead of reading Robert Frost
I'm complaining about Slant Rhyme
