To The Poet Who Rhymes All Of The Time: Revolutionary ImproVerse Iambic Free Verse Poem

Instead of trying to rhyme/
all of your poetic time,
why not increase your talent?/
Why don’t you finally relent?/
Why don’t you stop being so frantic/
and take some lines that could be iambic/
and make them not?

Instead of trying to rhyme/
all of your poetic time,
why not increase your talent?/
Why don’t you finally relent?/

and take some lines that could be iambic/
and make them not rhyme?
At all?
Not even a little bit!
Come on! Try it once
or twice.
It could be
really good for you.
