Letting Out Your Rhyme

It’s funny how a rhyme turns up 

On a page when least expected

Making sense of past or present tense

Each end of  line connected

Some think that rhyme is hard to write

Though all you need is pen and paper

For rhyme has a knack in taking up slack

A stream of steam like vapour

I often feel when writing rhyme

Are there Genies on my shelf

Sitting there no rhyme in mind

I find a rhyme has written itself

Give it a go seeing bywords that flow

Bopping and dancing in time

Open your cage let them jump on page

Before you know it you’ve written a rhyme
