Of course you can. Besides, the more you practice the better you get.
Also, when this is over I will probably hold one for non-rhyme.

yay! well, here is mine.............................. You see the color black, you think its nothing bad. But then you turn around and look back, then your mind backtraces. Look at the faces around you, see the frowns that surround them, different they may seem, but in reality they are normal like you and me. Its a different depression, that wounds their eyes in discretion, their hearts will never heal, for it is not a big deal. so I tried to find rhyming words..and yet..it still does not seem to rhyme. |

Good TrueNarnian. It rhymes a little, and that's enough.
Witch_King_of_Angmar, just enter before the deadline. |

can i enter one i wrote a while back? if so, here it is: Identity You talk of labels, but they’re just words – Slippery as eels, flighty as birds; They change their meanings like the tides, Always misleading and switching sides. They will not show you the real me, For I am much more than you can see. People aren’t boxes that you can tick – We’re made of Teflon so the labels won’t stick. Identity is more than stereotype, So ignore the labels and forget the hype – Look beyond the badges and you might find Identity of a different kind. |

Question: Can it be slant rhymes too? Not only exact rhymes? Because I might like to enter if I can find something... By the way eowyn, I agree with FRODOFAN, great poem. I like it a lot. |

On the shores of the moonlit tide, Where only with ghosts may one confide. Where all shadows are naught, All the light within us caught. Sailors singing ancient songs, As the watch-bell rings 'bong!'. Everyone no notice gives, To where the mortals live. We work and we toil, We never recoil. Life leaves us cold, On the Dutchman old. |

On stormy night or rainy day When one feels called to steal away Upon a lonely field or fen Alone might find footprints, and then - In shifting patterns followed long Like some lost remnant of a song They vanish midst a copse or grove As if into the ground they dove A pixie, goblin, brownie, gnome Traces unseen but by you alone. Returning midst the distant thunder - Did I see them? Now, you wonder... I didn't even say I was going to join, did I? Wow. Well, I was in a poetic mood, and there it is! |

I'll join! I shall post my entry ASAP!
Edit: Here you go! I look into my lovers eyes And he looks into mine Our love will soar out through the skies Until the end of time We start to kiss, first tenderly, and then more passionate By now I'm sure, he is for me And we shall share our fate I love him with all my heart and he loves me with his I will love him from the start Until our final kiss |

*is intimidated by all of the superior poets* Beautiful poems everyone! Honestly, mine is complete rubbish compared to all of yours. It's a good thing I'm not entering to win or anything. This is really raw stuff from me. More like me thinking in rhyme than writing a poem. Still, it was the only one I found going through my notes that fit the criteria. So... here we go. *deep breath* People are so afraid to fly Though if they would, they'd touch the sky But they are too afraid to fall To float on air, then lose it all As for me, I'd love nothing more Than just to fly, than just to soar And if I have to fall, I will I'll take the risk to feel the thrill All that I lack is just one thing Nobody's given me their wings I hope you all get what the flying is supposed to represent...... |
