If you're looking for something that makes sense, you've
come to the wrong place and you should close this window immediately.
However, if you're looking for rhyme you will be pleased.
Papa's poems rhyme, which is
better than sense. Rhyme makes poems. Sense? Well, sense does nothing. If poems
made sense English teachers couldn't make students analyze them, schools
would have to try and find English teachers who could rhyme, which
is impossible, so English teachers would have nothing to do but draw
red lines through run-on sentences... and pray tell, how many run-on
sentences have you met?
Therefore, poetry
should rhyme all the time, except for the one exception that you'll find
in here somewhere. The poem that doesn't rhyme is sad. That's
the problem with free verse, it's always so sad, and dark, and dreary. I
think the reason is that when you make a good rhyme you feel good
and you write happily. When you write dreary non-rhyming prose, word
after word, it's, well, it's dreary. Find my one non-rhyming poem and
you'll see. |
