Dang did I fail the last PaD quickly! Well, internet is back pretty darn well and so here I go again! Not giving this challenge up :)
Today's PaD is about how people force rhyme and flow into poetry and kill the message. As such, it is TOTALLY un-flow-y and un-rhyme-y for a reason other than laziness!
--------------------------------------
Dude, these poems are so unnatural,
Words that are sticky, stumbly stairways of speech,
...... Yeah, like that!
And it is in the spirit of realization that I write this... write.
Why do we sit here, with such an important message in our heads,
Then go to some SQL database of rhymes,
Forcing sentences that rhyme to and do and you and shoe and threw and flew and crew,
Until we're left with something cold, with words using 30 syllables?
And sure it's technically awesome, hell the more obtuse the more can be read into it, right?
But our message is lost... And so is our voice.
Don't be that dude, unless that dude is you.
If you've got a message, just spit it out!
Like this poem for example...
If you didn't get what it's about...
Then... Geez, come on!
