How do you write a poem?
How do you rhyme?
Do you just throw out words such as "dime"
And hope that it means something to someone in time?
Make it so vague that room for interpretation
Could be redefined as a Grand Canyon vacation?
How do you rhyme?
How do you write a poem?
Do you repeat lines from the beginning halfway through and at end,
In hopes that the emphasis will make Newton's apple descend?
If stereo is the word and you've just talked of fish
Can aquarium be made to fit the procrustean bed
And be said as "aquario" in aquarium's stead?
Lothario might work as well I suppose, and such a man would no doubt have a
stereo of notelike Bose.
Is this a poem? Is this how it's done?
How do you rhyme when you've stared at the sun?
How do you write a poem?
