Great highlights of the centuries <br />that saw big armies on their knees <br />were poets from the Fatherland <br />their words for all to understand. <br /> <br />A poet cannot be a mime <br />but all of them composed in rhyme. <br />Today, so many raise their brows <br />and bleat like Alpine milka cows, <br /> <br />free verse is all the rage, hooray <br />thus rhyme must be, at last, passé. <br />You do remind me of a fretter <br />who can't come up with something better.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rhyme-is-not-dead/
