Rhyming

I don't know where it came from, but this poem is the second poem to come after breaking my writer's block! Hope you like it!

People wonder,

wonder why,

in my poems I do not rhyme.

The answer is quite simple really,

it just takes to much time.

 

It's not that I don't want to,

 it's not that I can't,

but it would be

so uncomfortable, you see,

as if in the darkest room sat a plant.

 

It would have no room to grow;

the light would be rare.

It would have nothing to show;

all it's branches were bare.

 

I would much rather be,

a big elder bush.

My roots run long and deep,

my berries are plentiful and sweet,

giving me quite an edge.

 

Yes, it is true,

that I do not rhyme.

But, really, can't you see?

You've had plenty of time.

 

Which would you be?

Here, I'll give you a push:

A small naked twig?

Or great big full bush?

Author's Note

So yeah I hope everyone gets the writer-bush analogy.

I think that no mater what you put to ink, it would be full as a tree in spring with leaves gloriously and green. It matters not if it rhymes or not, or if it's a piece of poetry or a story... It's the effort one puts into it that counts, and that when inspiration strikes, they scribble what they feel the should.

I loved the poem!

Okay :) Well I want to try and write more, but it may take a while.

I don't think you would be a small naked twig if you wrote poems that rhyme. This poem is the proof! :P

Well, let me just say that you are not a small naked twig XD What I meant was that if I wrote poems that rhyme, I would be a small naked twig. This basically what would happen if I tried to write poems that rhyme. I would be that twig. :P

Clever of you to write a poem that rhymes about not wanting to write poems that rhyme! And I'm a small naked twig, since I always rhyme in my poems. I guess it's just because I want the poem to be more rhytmical. :D

This is wonderful, I enjoyed the rhyme through out.
Feelings so nicely expressed.

Yes, it was intentional. Not at first, but as I kept writing, I just kept with the switching stanzas. :) thanks for the review!

Very nice poem! The starting and ending stanzas were very good. Just a cue, did you notice that the rhyming scheme of each stanza is different? If so was it intentional?
