Anyone Can Pen Rhyme

It is true what is said anyone can pen rhyme But the works of the true poets do live on in time And the twenty first century literary critics the praises of the modern poets sing It does seem that blank verse is now the in thing And though everyone needed in the wordsmith trade It is true about poets they are born not made True poets like true playwrights and true novelists with words have a way They were born to be writers to know of wealth and fame one day Back in the mid fifties when i was a boy Reading the poems of the rhyme poets i used to enjoy But rhyme nowadays does seem a thing of the past Suppose in life few things are born for to last And though in it for me no fame or financial gain The rhyming addiction with me does remain.
