who betrayed rhyming poetry to its literary death?
who poisoned it and made it take its final breath
who cut it up into words of just prose
poets did,
poets did i suppose
with thier quirky non rhyming, non flowing literate shite
they put out the light of rhyming poetry from the new books on the shelves
because they wanted to make themselves look good
with their  eloquent poems that take an english degree to be understood
as if the man on the street ever could
but the man on the street still remembers the days
when poems used to rhyme with a rhythmic turn of phrase
and stick in a persons head
so they make up their own dirty limericks up instead
and why is poetry dying?
because the poets the only ones who read each others work
and they are spying
trying to make make a poem so clever
it can never be completely understood!
