A Simple Rhyme by ~Entaryon:iconEntaryon:



This is just a simple shot
At seeing what this pen has got.
Upon my floor for months has sat
Amongst old works and Danish caps.
For though a pen I always need
Oft was one that I could see.
And so there on my cluttered floor,
Near my books and by the door,
Lay this pen of flowing ink,
Until one day I thought to think
"Mayhaps I'll use that gel grip pen."
(As I had lost the other ten
Which frequented my writing room.)
Above the pen then did I loom,
And reache'd down to take its shaft
And with its touch was I enrapt
By all the things t'would help me say,
From picking up and 'till I lay
It back upon my writing desk,
Or hide it in some treasure chest,
For its worth is just as great
As all the pearl in Heaven's gate.

I don't know why I didn't put this up sooner!

A poem I wrote jokingly at the Coffeehouse Cafe one day. Just an excersise in words, rhyming, and poetic meter. Enjoy the bliss of (seemingly) meaningless poetry!

Very much so agreed on the forced rhyming, probably why I hadn't put it up in the first place :D

Thanks for the comment!

"For its worth is just as great"
^ The only line I stumbled on.

THIS is how you use rhyming couplets people. Line length and beat MATTER.

Thank you SO MUCH for doing this. You give me hope for poetic form in the future.

Glad to see somebody else realises how diluted the world of poetry has grown!

Thank you very much for the uplifting comment :D
