A Poem Which Rhymes

[Gemini]

Some folks seem to like a poem with rhyme
I will do that just this one time

When I spend my writing time
trying to make it rhyme..................

I lose the beat
in order to keep it neat.

I lose the essence of what there is to say
so that the words will be okay

I lose the flow
of where I want to go

The words have to be chosen to match
and my thoughts just can't hatch

I have to stay in a line of rhytmical choice
and I lose my gift, I lose my voice .

I find it boring and insincere
sorry, my dear.

My heart and soul want to be free
in all of the words I share with thee.

So if you need a poem where words match the line
please do not bother to read any of mine.

I write from the heart and the heart is free
this is the last rhyme you will hear from me.

Love you guys!
