Can you a Sonnet write without its rhyme? <br />Now people want the modern verse that's free; <br />As ideas get stuck and cramped with time, <br />A Sonnet's like leafless branches of tree! <br /> <br />A Sonnet's great for men who rhyme too well; <br />Its beauty lives in metre, rhythm, rhyme; <br />Yet, it can never run into 'pel-mel'; <br />The sonneteer can write in any clime. <br /> <br />Why abhor rhymes and not a Sonnet write? <br />Each genre has its rules to comply with; <br />Why sleep all day and stay awake all night? <br />Rhyme-play is done by Kindergarden kith! <br /> <br /> Why ridicule something you can't do well, <br /> Much things are done by practice, Sonnets tell.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-sonnet-needs-rhymes/
