How do the rappers do it?

My poetry is lame

My poetry is lame

Like my friend whatsisname

I try real hard to rhyme

I do it every line

No matter how I try

I always screw it up.

I wrote a poem today

I had big fun, hooray

I rhymed the words so well

Everything was swell

I focused on the meter

But something wasn’t right.

So if you like to write

Take some free advice

A poem it has two parts

That raises it to Art

The first one is good timing

Rhyming is the second one.

    Nice job on this one. Short and simple.

    Not all poetry rhymes nor does it have a certain meter. I like this!

    No matter how I try

    I can learn a lot from you about meter Lew.
    I got your point.

    Well, I think your poetry is OK.
    Time and rhyme are fine, but not the be all, and end all in lines [choke choke] Christmas time is coming… Christmas time is coming…
    Poetry in motion is only a notion…
    like it Lew
