Rhythm and Rhyme.
The root of a poem is its rhyme,
As sweet as a silver bell’s chime!Now it looks like a very bad time,
Since poems are not worth a dime!Is it because of a different clime?
But poem without rhyme is a crime!It burns our inside like caustic lime;
It feels as ugly as the sticking grime!Words with neither rhythm nor rhyme,
May pass for poems, but are mime!It may take us a very longtime,
To read good poetry in our lifetime!
