My father's a preacher my mother's a teacher thus I rhyme.
In high school we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
It's useless to try and make rhyme or reason of it because one guy thinks one thing and the other guy sees a whole other thing. So I try not to take them too seriously. Lately I have them screened so I only read the positive ones.
Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme rhythm and the words themselves.
I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry.
Rhyme that enslaved queen that supreme charm of our poetry that creator of our meter.
I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.
I'm tired of love I'm still more tired of rhyme but money gives me pleasure all the time.
Oh love will make a dog howl in rhyme.
But you can't focus on things that matter if all you've been is asleep for forty years. Funny how sleep rhymes with sheep. You know.
Constantly risking absurdity and death whenever he performs above the heads of his audience the poet like an acrobat climbs on rhyme to a high wire of his own making.
Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows but the raps aren't really about anything - which is cool sometimes but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.
I think it's interesting that 'cologne' rhymes with 'alone.'
