Rhyme is fine for a time
but cake-bake-fake
does not a poem make

So don't be so vague about it
the next time you have to say
a thing


Do
not
over
use
line breaks

Nevermore shall you utilize
magnanimous lexemes
or abhorrent exaggeration

Use only metaphor-monsters
(so polite with the light on)

Then, these rules
once expertly mastered
are yours to
break.
