I like to write in rhyme
I do it all the time
But sometimes
It won't do
Rhyme is peppy
But there are times when "Peppy" is wrong
Yes
Not at all right
Peppy doesn't sing loneliness and need
The meter of well written rhyme doesn't crash your soul
Unsuspecting, uneven despair
Halting voices, tears
Long thoughtful pauses
Random thoughts ending
Life
Soulless life
Can rhyme be sad?
Can I find the words?
Good
Bad
Let's hope for good
The souls wait
For rhyme to return
A steady gait
And in the end
If you make it through
That slide into hell
Well
You've found a word
Soft and tender
Will peppy rhyme
This feeling render?
Perhaps
Perhaps there is more
A symphony of thought
On a metered score
Hello everyone, I was thinking about how I like to write in rhyme. Most of my rhyme is trite and silly and I've not been able to convey anything but upbeat, peppy stories through rhyme. I wonder if you can write a sad poem in rhyme. I feel that the matching endings, and the cadence that repeats, do not lend themselves to the words needed to convey sad feelings.
Am I wrong?
Perhaps,
Perhaps there is more
A symphony of thought
On a metered score
