Forced Rhymes Poem by Cowboy Ron Williams

Forced Rhymes

Rating: 5.0

He of the forced rhymes
and no meter
has told us of times
that were sweeter.
Why didn't he just
come out and say
that John Lennon died
on this very day
forty-three years ago?
Even a simple poet's note
would have made clearer
the things that he wrote.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poking gentle fun at one of my PH friends who never allows comments nor voting on his poems. I have wanted to comment on many of his poems. He has some good ones.

Here is no voting either, but this poem makes me clear how annoying that is! I can imagine how irritating attitude. this IS for you, dear Cowboy.

In some cases, I express my views by means of a ‘private message' through PoemHunter itself. But then, it would be seen by the poet only.

You are right, Ron. When we read some poems, we strongly feel that we have something to say about it to the readers and/or the poet. So, I join you, Ron, in the request to all fellow-poets to say "YES" to readers' comments, please. Thank you, Ron

Why does a poet submit poems on PH if he does not wish a vote or a comment on his poems? ! . You wrote here an excellent statement, Ron.
