i’ve been too often careless
with my time
long hours spent in daydreams
and in rhyme
but that is where my heart
is most at home
so that i where i willful
choose to roam
the hours fly unnoticed and awake
i smile at the places they me take
~ RC deWinter
I’ve been rhyming all day.
I’ve never abandoned rhyme. My first serious writing was all song lyrics and of course they rhymed.
Many years ago in one of the old GeoCities chat rooms someone nicknamed me
“Venus de Rhymer.”
And for those of you who don’t get the reference, meet Thomas the Rhymer.

onshore wind

singing in the key of blue minor
the wind carries the sorrow of the world
in a wordless universal tongue
wrapping me in a melody that
penetrates my chest with a sea of grief
midnight waves punctuated by cymbals
commemorating each new disaster
slosh against bone as the dead rise
to dance a mirthless jig
out of time but never out of mind
prophets say summer is the quietus
that will still this hellish song
but i am not deceived by this propaganda
and refusing this cup
weep useless tears as the sea level rises
