POEM STARTER
Write a poem on any topic you like using slant rhyme.
Slant rhyme is where two words sound very similar, but do not exactly rhyme. For example: soon/gloom, cloud/doubt.
The Almost Rhyme
My default is perfect That is not to say I always achieve In fact often times it is quite murky; meek
A certain freedom then In deliberately striving for flat When routinely it is nothing like… a comrade.
being biggest, best Is quite the series of rigged, competitive jests It assumes there are those below And in the subsequent array of buffoons Pitted against people like pieces in chess
There are no comrades in chess
Winners and losers, yep
I guessed, if power plays and parading prancing arrays
Is your kind of day
Hurray?
No one is bothered to tell you however That no matter how hard you try there will always be another; gooder Better, Perfecter, completing the trifecta
Like spritz of vibrant perfume, In dull empty room An itch that cannot be satiated Or fully scratched How bloody annoying is that?
