The sky is getting older And short of breath The wind, a bit creaky In the joint of its sneeze It’s talking to itself and yelling at mirages The middle, of a hurricane got pie in its eye I woke up this morning at the yawn of night They say nothing’s faster than, the speed of light In the dark we see a mere spark for miles Light is all around us Trapped, within And when released, it flies back to the arms The bosom, of motherverse dripping with charm Set us, afire, and that’s where we go We nourish the darkness with all of our glow She chews us inside of the maw of her dim Until we slip down to the belly of hymn The cosmos is merely the shadow, of whole All of the stars are the signs of the soul Light is awake and dark is dream Dark eats light when, silence Screams I walk each day to the boundary of time Why is me, inside of rhyme I’m going to need, a gas station quick My heart only gets 20 smiles to the gallon I like how trees outlive our lives I wish our waves wouldn’t take a dive We know not sadness when we die It comes at birth, inside our cry The picture fell without attack The ink you bleed with must, be black I’m going to take, the longest jump Before my final, breath And finally pass, the end of time One step beyond my death  |

Giggles, Rich, at your ever-clever rhymes sublime! Truth and humour and wordplay and happy optimism swirled into a funnel of fun! I particularly love it all, but I particularly, particularly loved the ending! And to answer your question, because rhyme is inside of you and all around you, lol! Owl |

You style of running short verses is like you are building a climbing notable poem, and from what I gather, you definitely are. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |
