Far away a land forlornly lies,
Well hidden it is from prying eyes,
"Down Under" they call it with a grin,
But me that fabled country did not win:
For while the duck-billed mammals' eggs it lays,
The big and arid hole centrally stays;
And while it breeds majestic kangaroos,
I've yet to see them other than in zoos;
For while its' people greet me with "G'day"s,
The laid-back culture me still does amaze;
And while they on the wrong side always cruise,
I've still to answer what I here did lose;
So as I leave all I'll do is say,
Happy - that far away,
I'll be - when it does lay.

ok, that's why i dont like rhyming poetry,. cuz you twist words and sentences around just so you have the word you need to rhyme at the end of the line.
ReplyDeletei dont really get what you are trying to say, honestly. but good job at making it rhyme. :)
There is a reason why poets need 'poetic license'...
ReplyDeleteI'm just rambling; not really trying to say anything.
The question is if people get poetry when it doesn't rhyme, because that's even harder in my opinion.
most poems I write don't rhyme. most people appreciate them anyway.
