A Poem Without a Single Rhyme in It

Writer's picture: Edward RiederichEdward Riederich

What can I say about poems today?

Well, for one, they never rhyme anymore

And if some "modern poet" today attempts to rhyme usually the poem turns out completely cringeworthy at best 

Or it is some "forced" rhyme that completely annoys me

Maybe they shouldn't be poets

Reading these poems makes me want to grab one of those airplane vomit bags and vomit violently not once but a few times

And when the lady next to me in seat 18A looks at me disgusted I want to tell her

"Look lady, I am in a middle seat because I purchased a basic economy ticket

Yeah I don't have an airline credit card

I board in Group 9! 

So lady, I am sorry you have to see me vomit but I just read a stupid poem that rhymes which annoyed me"

Sorry but not sorry

For the poetic rhyme can become the box that traps the poet

Just paint the picture

Just flow with the river

Just tell the story

Whether it rhymes or not

Maybe rhymes are not for our times

Great! I just rhymed

Now a new title I have to find

Nah never mind
