Rhyme-less



Rhymes have left my rhyme-less brain
Will not those rhymes return again?
I wonder where they wander to
When leaving me without a clue

Perhaps I've reached my rhyme plateau
Why they left I'll never know
I've tried in earnest with all my vigor
To seek and find a rhyming trigger

My rhyming ship has run aground
Rudderless, no rhyme around
I wonder why, without a trace
My rhymes left me for outer-space

A poet without a verse or rhyme
Is like a sleuth without a crime
Or a sailor without a ship to sail
Or a carpenter without a saw or nail

Now I'm at a total loss
No rhymes at all, my bear to cross
Rhymes have left my rhyme-less brain
Will not those rhymes return again?
