You made a list of rhymes,
I'd be embarrassed if I were you.
Writing poems is easy,
You just haven't got a clue.

First you make a rhyme,
But there's something left to do,
A rhyme makes it sound sweet,
But rhythm's needed too.

Once you have the rhythm,
The first verse is complete.
If you want to make it longer,
You'll just have to repeat.

Start with something simple,
To help you get the flow.
From there the hard part's over,
The rest will just come and go.

I have some work to do,
This will have to come to an end.
But before I go,
I must say, "I win!"

I actually broke the rhythm a couple times. Delicious irony for you there. Totally intentional. Not.

Half-score less four years ago (2005, for normal people), a friend of mine (and crush at the time) found a penny on a field trip to Disney, and made a point to say "Hey look, I found a penny" every opportunity she could. This got a bit annoying, so naturally I attempted to belittle her great fortune using my literary wit. Thus began the great Penny Poem War. To this day, I do not have my original piece, nor any of her replies (though I assure you, mine were totally better), but I do have two pieces of my own with which I can reminisce. As per the request of :iconamaya-k-lilium: ages ago, I have finally gotten around to typing them up so that you may bask in the awesomeness that is my poetry. You're welcome.

Too bad you don't have the entire saga; it would make a wonderful story told in poetry.
