The poem had to include at least 20 internal rhymes as well. Real Poets Don’t Rhyme! “Is it a crime not to rhyme?!” I chime, “The poem I design should be mine” Rhymes are bound to be found, But why make them partake? I say, do not make my poetic ideas decay, Because they don’t rhyme! I scream to let off steam, “Why me” I decree. I felt an unfair hand I was dealt. Now I must fight to merely write, And find a word that rhymes with absurd. It’s way too hard to rhyme! That’s it, I quit, Thoughts will no longer be distraught. My mind is free to make a spree, And dispose of poems that I wish to compose. Without a doubt, many ideas I can write about, I pray new ideas not sway astray. Poets don’t need rhymes! Wait, it may not be too late, Can I save my poem from an early grave? Oh no! Say it isn’t so, How could I predict that I would be tricked? This entire time, my poem has been one big rhyme. Rhymes…you can’t get away!
