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.

TT and FRODOFAN - thankyou very much. i had half an hour to kill in the library and that was the result.
most of my poetry rhymes and i've written far better stuff, but that was the only one i could enter because the others are too long.

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......
