i will not rhyme

 
no i will not rhyme  
only will converse  
for it is a crime  
on streets of free verse  

yes rhyme i will not  
neither punctuate  
nor accentuate  
poem with a dot  
 
well the elite mob  
can say what they want  
polish your own knob
my ink's not a rant
 
 
looking for meter?  
or some design scheme  
not a repeater  
obeying old theme  
 
happy to remain  
the one on the fringe  
your love for arcane  
makes the masses cringe  
 
i try to never rhyme  
i truly try hard  
rhyme's had its time  
the time of the bard

Author's Note
No intention to mock the excellent natural and skilled rhyme poets here just a satirical scribble...those who look closely will see the irony ;-)

On a serious note...well anything that sparks debate and brings to light the art of poetry is a plus.
