Ragged Rhyme

Some have said my rhymes are ragged,
That my meter’s often jagged,
Even claimed my themes portray a shallow core –
Words of modest inspiration –
Therefore, without hesitation,
I should give up writing now and evermore.

I protest with indignation
Heartless words of denigration,
Though it’s true I have no skill at writing verse.
Poetry can be quite daunting
And I find my poems wanting
Just to have a muse a little less perverse.

no Pete, they say YOU are ragged. actually, i'm always happy to see when you write something new, as you always put your mind in it... as to your rhyme... well, that's evil, but we all have faults.

Just accept it - You're plain and simply "Not a Poet".. and that you shall be forevermore...

Pete,
Nice twist here, not as easy as it looks ( "jagged" or not ).
