"I like to rhyme, and tend to use strong lyrical rhythm. I play with the structure for ages, and even then I am not always satisfied. Sometimes I just have fun, or describe, or laugh, and sometimes I like to combine a really serious idea with very traditional rhyme. I like the contrast."
I rhyme
Out of time
Deliver rendition
In couplet tradition
Unknown by the media
Unlisted in wikipedia
Unfollowed on twitter
Unloved but not bitter
Past my life sell by date
Written decades too late
To be heard in a slam
Or a poetry jam
But I make no apology
For my rhymed poetology
More compulsive than fiction
Rhyming is an addiction
Where the words build with tension
By exploiting convention
