Tempting it is, for son and daughter,
To take a few words through poetic slaughter.
Try as I may to meassure each syllable,
I'll as soon as forget it as becoming a cannibal.
You never can tell, I just might win bronze--
As long as I refrain from words like "bail bonds."
My rhyme is abismal, in finesse, I'm a lumix;
I hope that my readers, this passage, can stomach.
Vastly outdone, I may be in prose;
Besides, who else would use words like pink flamingos?
Painful at best, I cannot blame heroine...
Perhaps it's insomnia and lack of serotonin!
Such words have been ordered to make this ensemble,
None that are remotely the least bit incomparable.
The battle was fought and I came up zero;
Dieing in a flash in fiery inferno.
I know that upset has reach each poetic wraith;
Surely as tortured the lowly waif.
Concede so I shall, with one final adieu:
I couldn't find one word to rhyme with globule.

Wow, I like it! It's not too often on AP that I find a grammar whore like myself, who actually bothers to type in proper English and spell properly! Well done, and good luck!
Peace!

I would prefer not to call myself a "whore" for any reason. :|
Otherwise, I appreciate your comment.

Silly
I don't know what's odd-er... the fact that you made this write understandable or used a bunch of words that most certainly don't rhyme easily (or at all). Of course, there's a crooked sense of rhyme anyway, and I certainly do like the fact that you always seem to find a way to rhyme somethig when you have to. What is serontonin, anyway?

You did a great job of keeping this light-hearted and keeping a coherent theme. I would advise that you check your spelling though, it's a little creative in a few places. Good job with the word bank though, you put it to good use. Thanks for entering.
Please do not reply to this until after the contest if you choose to do so. I am co-judging and want your entry to remain anonymous. Thanks! --->pixxie<--- -
"I couldn't find one word to rhyme with globule."
Don't worry; neither could the rest of us! And don't fret about it being dicey. It's really tough to write a poem for this contest and have it not be. You are not alone. And, yes, it did bring me a smile!
Please don't respond to comments made about this poem until judging has ended, so that it can be unfair and biased.
Wait, strike that, reverse it.
Thanks and good luck!
