Rhymes are Fairly Useless Things

Hearts Fade
by: Rob Paquin

All this idle time leads to thoughts.
Thoughts that I'm always thinking.
Eyes blinking
Friends shrinking

Just a moment passing by me
Passing by so slowly
Sinking lowly
Naught below me

Wondering where it is you went to
Went away without a word
Though words I've heard
It seems absurd

Within your mind things transpired
I guess its not my business
Just my kismet
Another curse from my abyssness

Wish you well as I turn away now
I'm like a bird free flying
Never lying
Always trying

It isn't about rhyming or not rhyming. Personally, I prefer not rhyming. It is about conveying feelings or imagery. That is what sings in poetry, I believe.

You are writing a lot about friends. Are you nostalgic? Signed, Poe, the clear Canadian.

@PoetryNEmotion Is this gonna be something out of Stripes ?
Bill Murry had a ladle in that but ended up going with the egg beater....😳

@HikingMan Nah. I used to have an egg beater. Wonder what happened to it? I had a nice ladle. Stolen like everything else. End of this tomfoolery. This could last all night. I miss shennanigans! * beams at you*

@PoetryNEmotion You know where to find me....
I'm at the corner of Shenanigan alley and Tomfoolery road

I dunno. I got a few ad jingles in my head that seem to have permanent residency.
I think metre and rhyme help memory retention.

@PoetryNEmotion You should be sleeping by now....
Staying up late is your choice.
I accept no blame in this....🤗

@HikingMan No man tells me when to sleep! I do not work tomorrow. Taking dogs outside first. Good night, Maine man.

@PoetryNEmotion Just because you leave, that doesn't mean the last word was yours.
Talk about tomfoolery and shenanigans....
Pfft !

@HikingMan You seem to have some bleach there. *dabs you with a towel* Let me recommend some soup from the restaurant on that corner. It will have some kick to it! Let me know tomorrow when the skies are clear how it tasted. Night, night, hon. *waves*

@PoetryNEmotion Peace, my friend.
Sleep well in the arms of a bear.
