the crime

should a poem rhyme?
would it be such a crime if my poem didn't rhyme?
i hope not
'cause i like to just say
what i am feeling
at that time
during that day
while that minute
ticks away
maybe it rhymes,
maybe not
will u get caught?
if so, by whom?
is there a rhyme police?
are they in my room?
id feel like i was in a tomb
if the rhyme police told me
my poem had to rhyme
that there were rules about
rhyming
punctuation
capitalization
in poetry
then they arrested me
for not rhyming
would it be such a crime if my poem didnt rhyme?
