Why I don't Write Poetry

Poetry is hard to write. Sometimes, it takes me all night!
In many ways, at many times, I find it hard to come up with good rhymes.
Most of the time, my rhymes sound quite pathetic, but like I've said, I'm not very poetic.
When I write poems, I don't find it easy. They always turn out way too cheesy.

Whether poems are inspirational, boring, cheesy, or creepy, they still make many people weepy.
That is one of the things I never understood about poems. Why do they make people cry?
Why do they rhyme? Well, not all poems rhyme.
Poems aren't even worth crying over.

If someone were to approach you and say "Why are you crying?"
How would you respond? "I just read really inspirational words that rhymed at the end of every sentence."
Well, then again, I guess it just depends on what the poem says. But still, you get me, right?

You see this? I've lost my cheesy touch. I thought I was doing pretty good with the whole rhyming thing. I was doing alright, until I couldn't think of something that tied in with that sentence and something that rhymed with cry.

Oh, I know so many things that rhyme with "cry". I just didn't think of something that rhymed with "cry" and tied into the sentence. Nor did I have the urge to continue the poem.

This is why I don't write poems. I get side-tracked and think about writing something that actually DOES interest me.

Many people try starting out with "Roses are Red, Violets are blue..."
Anyone can think of a poem when they start out like that. Watch, give me about 2 seconds.
Here we go...

Roses are red, violets are blue, some poems rhyme, but not this one.
Well, there I go again. My failed attempt at writing poems increases once again. Dang it. Well, I guess anyone besides me can think of better poems that actually rhyme.

"No more rhyming and I mean it!
-Anybody want a peanut?"
