On Rhyme

To many educated people rhyme is mainly doggerel
Just the scribbling of poetasters publishers will not publish to sell 
Something that is out of fashion in the literary World of today
Literary trends as ever changing it has always been this way 

Long gone are the days when a rhymer was of the admired of the town
For the twenty first century rhymers not even local renown
Literary critics dismiss rhymers as unworthy of note
And it is they who decide who is worthy to be referred to as a poet

Rhyme a popular form of literature many decades ago
But that time brings with it changes only happens to be so
Maybe in the future decades rhymers will again know of fame
In the passing of  time few things as they were stay the same

Once a popular form of literature a story written in rhyme
Like many other forms of entertainment it too has lost out to time
In literature novel writing and blank verse poetry the trending things of the day
And that time as ever brings with it change seems a true thing to say.
