Wine and dine over a rhyme
I don't like rhyming poetry. Humble me. Show me why I'm wrong. Write a poem or chew me out, just make sure to tag me.

Rhymez

Rhyming poetry is a little restrictive

Of course it can be effective

Depending on your objective

But for me its majorly addictive

Near rhymes barely scrape

by just like my brother in high

school. He'd put that little white tape

over his D in psychology.

It takes a lot of planning, scheming,

rewriting, rereading,

Odd becomes our syntax

attempting to make our rhymes exact

But when you're Eminem

and you've made your second million

you'll bow to the power of rhymin'

or at least appreciate the complexities it adds to the work :)
