I do Love Rhyme   (an unexpected love)

I do love rhyme the way it curves    
words like star's mass makes spacetime swerve    
photons, switching bright light round bends    
so tis with poem's rhyme sense sends    
lines round with great verve not like terse    
    
grumpy prose's dead end line words    
pretending measured tread could serve    
instead of rhyme, man's ancient friend?    
I do love rhyme.    
     
From before time as woman birthed    
man's tribe her heartbeat's music served    
to sooth savage breasts until penned    
in mind with dance, song, in the end    
man learned from women how to verse,    
I do love rhyme...
