There was
a time
where laws
of rhyme
did stand
for class
demand
a crass
niveau.
I've felt
the need
to belt
indeed
those rhymes
and post
for dimes
at most
also free verse
and other styles
with care I nurse
that which beguiles.
The down to earth
and lovely bird
must have from birth
each day have heard
the music for
our poetry
forever more
she'll sing for me.
I love it! I really do think some people just 'hear' rhyme in their heads. I can remember from a very young age 'thinking' things in rhyme whether they were serious or fun things I was dealing with. (Of course, my family thinks I'm very weird and think I should live in a musical! !) Oh how I would love that...I really would. I think the world's just a little bit easier to deal with that way. Great poem Herbert. Sincerely, Mary
