Happy,.... neglect,...love!
Your challenges with reading other people's emotional verbal rhythms and rhymes with reasons, speak to me of missed opportunities to invest more eye-to-eye and same-room time, rather than those other more nutritious monocultural choices
Red the Rose (Poem)
This is one of the first rhyming poems i have written in years, so its good to be back in that rhythm, i always liked rhymes, even though many say it is passe. this is for a friend of mine, a dragon.
Hue and Cry
Interestingly, this poem follows the shakespearean sonnet rhyme scheme, but uses dactylic trimeter with masculine rhymes for the quatrains. the couplet is the traditional iambic pentameter.
There Was Once
This poem has a simpler rhyme scheme and structure, but the quatrains are varied. the first two lines are in anapestic tetrameter, the third line is in dactylic tetrameter, and the fourth line is in dactylic trimeter with a masculine rhyme.
The Two Magicians
The greatest in the land, and this story is in a rhyme, but it's not bad on the other hand.
Love Poem
Yes, a rose is red, but also is white and pink, a violet comes in many colors as well, and to rhyme upon flaws is a flaw indeed. alas, i will rhyme upon certainties, for my love for you is certain indeed.

James lipton: before we move on, you've just opened the door to talk about a subject that has always been fascinating to me - cockney rhyming slang. i'm guessing "friar tuck" is to rhyme with "luck"? sheila: spot on.
Ballad of the Otter War
Some of the rhymes feel forced, but the structure calls for fourteen of the same rhyme, so i had to use a simple word to maximize my options. nonetheless, i'm glad i made something of a complete narrative here.
Murciél's Madrigal
Every word and rhyme sends waves of glee through your hazy mind. likewise, every note of the tender string section you provide for him sends shivering waves of bliss through your body. you sway together as he sways, feeling out the music.
