Schemata

entry picture

Please do not turn me into 

rhyme

leave me out of your

schemata

leave my name and

broken

ways for some other

tongue

for some other days.

 

Just write about that

of which you know 

and

do not speculate

nor

pitch dramatic

verse into the space

I have left.

 

I've taken my books

from your dusty shelves

and

stepping over your

out-stretched legs,

I leave the room

you've already locked.

I steal away

from easy rhyme.

Reminds me a little of the Limerick that doesn't work,

There was a young man from Tralee,
Who was stung on the leg by a wasp,
When asked if it hurt,
He said, "Not at all,"
"It can do it again if it likes."

No more rhyming Tom, I mean it,
Anybody want a peanut??

(Really liked it by the way)

Rhyme here Tom
You can't 'scape me
Inside I beat
Metronomically ?

There's a compelling quality to this Tommy, I find it like a sort of breaking out and a rejection of what is expected. You know the plan but I like it a lot.
