Setting the Bar
Setting the Bar
Are you a rhyming poet someone
Asked me yesterday?
To which I heard myself reply
I like its rhymic way
They said that nursery rhyming was
Frowned upon these days
To which I heard myself reply
Yes, if it cliches
So how do you perceive as good
Rhyming poetry?
It has to flow, be subtlety done
And meet a bar, to me
You see I really don't care who
Others think they are
I am in charge of rhyme I write
'Tis I who sets my bar

I agree, we have to write as we feel.
Often my poetry doesn't rhyme but I like to put in a couple of rhyming lines to add the drama.
Rhyming is not always easy and is a skill.
