Rhyme Sublime Poem by Denis Martindale

One's often puzzled what to rhyme!
Yet that's the journey, friends,
To meditate and use that time
Until one comprehends!
To struggle with the choices found,
That one stores in one's brain,
Perchance one choice that will astound
With oh so much to gain!

Of course, one's education aids,
The repertoire within,
Reflecting as each word cascades,
Perchance to pause and grin...
Yet oh what blessings can outpour,
Fine phrases and fine thoughts,
Creating what a poem's for
With diamonds not just quartz!

Consider rhyming dictionaries,
They're friends, both yours and mine!
With each selection they increase
The ways to end each line...
They offer fancy words or plain,
They guide us on our task,
It's like they scan each poet's brain,
What more could poets ask?

Who knows what wondrous words we'll write
If helped along the way?
Who knows the depths of each insight
If helped like this each day?
So when it's rhyme time, pause a while...
Check websites on the net,
Those dictionaries can make one smile,
If one does not forget!
