RHYMES...going going gone?
Whatever does it mean
Am I a defeated pup
Rhymes have fled my scene
I cannot think them up
Where must I go to find them
Their loss so mystifying
I had the knack to grind them
Now rhymes from me keep hiding
Perhaps not the words but the subjects I choose
Have kept me from all I aspire
No topic I've heard, or even the news
Provide me the words I require
Could this be the end of my rhyming career
A career so much fun and effusive
Can it mean that my poems were just a veneer
A pursuit most find so elusive?
I'll struggle on and hope that in time
My bardian verse will come back
To let me write only poems that are prime
By returning those rhymes I now lack
