The Moderns

To many reading modern poetry more interesting the meaning in the metaphors they seek to find They feel it makes their brains work that much harder that it is good exercise for the mind Rhyme for their great brains seems that bit too simple it does not test their thinking power at all 'Tis not a poem to them if it seems simple and the meaning in it easy to recall, Yes rhyme for them it does seem that bit simple and deciphering it to them is not a test The hidden meaning in the metaphors is something that does seem to try them best Rhyme poetry to them is too simple and far too easy for to understand It has to be blank verse with dozens of metaphors for their interest for to command They look on rhyme and bush poets as inferior their preference in poets and poetry they make known On literature they air their opinions like it is said to each their own Their poetry evenings do seem quite exclusive rhyme poets to read they never do invite Their unmusical lines that are laced with metaphors to each other they do recite They do not like rhyme or they do not like bush poetry to them it is of another time And in their poetry evenings there is no place for the men and the women of rhyme.
