Writing Poetry

I can't believe
     I could write poetry
Versification
     is way beyond me
My syllablization would be a catastrophe
I just can't write poetry

Imagine
     thinking up words that rhyme
That would take
      way to much time
I'd go crazy trying to write the next line
I just can't write poetry

Sestet, Sestina, Sijo, Hiku
Why can't I just write about you?
this poetry thing isn't something I have to do
I just can't write poetry

How do these guys singing rap
rhyme so easily, tit after tat
I can't rhyme if even on them I sat
I just can't write poetry

Of course not all poetry rhymes
some just keeps a kind of a time
a rhythm sounding pleasing in the mind
I just can't write poetry


There are a million verses to this one, it is something I start repeating to myself when I am writing a poem and can't come up with anything so I make up new verses to this one.
