I’m trying to write a poem
That doesn’t have a rhyme
I find it really challenging
Am I just wasting .. energy
It doesn’t sit quite comfortably
I’m always rhyming verse
Napow to the death, my comfort.
Call the morgue, send a.. body bag
The rebellion in my mind
Just to complete this simple task
Is driving me quite bonkers
And is a real pain in my.. butt
I persevere, it’s .. obvious
defeat not in my nature
And though I twitch, I .. sow
These lines of, poetry? Together
Shit.

Author's Note
I have never written a poem that didn’t rhyme so I set myself the challenge. I’m actually proud of this silly piece, can you tell what the rhymes would have been? lol

Honestly was like pulling teeth so I made it silly instead, classic defence mechanism lol I wrote a second trying to be serious and I hate it but posted it anyway 😅
