I've been asked to write some poetry
but I am not sure its the right thing for me
I just never seem to have the time
to think of words that actually rhyme
complex are the workings of a poets mind
so this is my first poem please be kind
Im trying, honest Im doing my best
but Im just not as good as all the rest
for reading this poem I'd like to thank you
it wasnt too bad I might write another one or two ![]()

wibble wobble Jelly on the plate
good to look at and nice to taste
something you like and do not hate
so go and have some with haste

Easy peasy!!!

I'd change it slightly into what's called rhyming couplets:
wibble wobble Jelly on the plate
something you like and do not hate
good to look at and nice to taste
so go and have some with haste
Read both versions and see what you think?-

thats true it does sound better with couplets rather than every other line I knew the flow wasnt quite right

-

If you like every other to rhyme then just rhyme even numbered lines (line 2 with 4; line 6 with 8; line 10 with 12 and so on)
You'll soon find a style and rhythm

Mary had a little lamb
She tied it to a pylon
A lightening bolt came shooting down
And turned it into nylon
there's more....but I'll get me coat...-

It's excellent for your very first try
I'm sure you'll improve as time goes by
Marian's idea is very good
(Looks worth a try from where I'm stood)
So let's see a poem for little Belle
(And maybe one for Jen as well?)

hehe I am gonna give it a go
I kinda like poems y'know
I'll write one out for belle
if she doesnt like it she can always yell
"no daddy no more rhyme"
then I will feel like a bit of slime

We could write all night in rhyme
But I fear I'm running out of time:
I need to rest my weary head
So I'll say "Night night...It's time for bed"

In a poetry pool your toe you did dip
before heading to bed for some lovely kip
but now as the day has started and it is dawning
its time to jump out of bed and stop all that yawning
