Unlocking Rhyming Block

There is a website called WriteExpress that have a Free Online Rhymers Dictionary that help poets with writer block to develop the talent of rhyming poetry.

Rhymers offer six types of rhymes. The rhyme types are as listed:

Nothing Changes

Whether it be nineteenth century,
Twentieth century, or
Twenty first century
Nothing changes
People continue to repeat
Blunders of predecessors

The Great Depression of the 1920’s

You would think
Lessons learned by forerunners
Would be guiding light
In pathways of opportunist, encouraged
To change a path destine to fail
Sooner or later, but

The love of money, not
Money itself,
Blinds eyes of chancers
Seeking to make big
Regardless of obvious troubles
Not so far over the horizon

It Is Crazy

It’s crazy
To think poisoning
Something (alcohol)
Would stop a person
From wanting it

It only makes
Matters worse, and
Your error will return
Bite you in the behind, and
All hard work fails at end, so

Bend a little
Show respect, dignity
To all involved, and
Good of majority
Will be attained, for

Only Almighty
Can make good
For all hidden in the earth
Groaning and moaning together
Over corruption deep rooted in religion and societies

My grand baby is SC Princess

I am the proud grandma of NyKera Washington" Miss South Carolina Princess" overall winner for her age group 1 to 24 months "Crowns Across America".

Indenting

indenting designing poetry

   etched pictures

        created from thoughts, ideas

            embeded poetic minds eye

 

 

            

Mental Wards in the Mind's Eye

many called it crazy home on bull street
house of fools running wild
calling those visiting family and friends
mama

crying for dead children, unborn
remembering ones wronged
showed no mercy
begging death, fleeting
as winds of blustery days

time of essence
today, here for taking
etch differences life of others
make name for self
one favorable, those mattered, because
pleasing everyone, impossible
please self, knowing
good conscience
makes heart joyous

Who am I

All my closest friends
are online
am I a real girl?
breathing breathe of life, or
virtual girl, living in bubble

if so, bubble popped
many moons ago
shattered, tared with feathers
i walk around as one
with out mends

me
tragic reality
beautiful Benz
troubled
unlike many
trying to grasp
what life really means
