Once upon a time
I stumbled upon the miracle of rhyme
and I found it an easy thing
to make simple a sentence ring

But over time I found
by this miracle I was bound
meaning soon lost it's place
in this rhyme confounded space

and again and again
I was distracted by my pen
that sought to match name with name
like a simple little children's game

I found I repeated many lines
In hope of maintaining the perfect rhyme
I hope you keep control of your pen
and never get trapped like me again

(sigh) I am sure we all come across this block every now and then, sweet friend, I love rhyming so much but there are days when it can indeed be so hard to concentrate and I find myself forcing to rhyme, which then makes my piece a little bland! (big hugggsssssss) whether your words rhyme or not, sweet friend, you always delight us with your golden heart! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

James
your rhyme - or so it seems
has trapped you in your dreams
but don't you be dismayed
this curse can be allayed
it's such a simple cure
I tell you this for sure
just you take a walk
and with some strangers talk
listen to them speak
although it leaves you weak
you listen and move on
till words in rhyme have gone.

And if that doesn't work you can always call me for a dose of distraction!

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
