Rhyme It Will Surely Live On

The styles and genres of writing keep changing over time
But poetry in English seems only half dressed without rhyme
And though modern poetry is now the in thing
Without rhyme there would be far less songs to sing
Though rhyme it may have had a far better day
In poetry it does have a big part for to play
And though lovers of blank verse may not agree
Poetry in English without rhyme much worse off would be
In poetry in English rhyme used to be number one
But changes come with time when all is said and done
And though for it as it does seem it's better days gone
In poetry in English rhyme it will surely live on
It has music and rhythm in it the sources of song
Those who say rhyme is dead surely have got it wrong.
