A Poet's Lament

[Jada59]

I am not very good with rhymes. Whenever I write rhyme, I think of magic spells or Dr Seuss (and giggle), so I've decided to make this my sandbox and attempt to create a story out of rhymes.

My first stanza;

In a flat with black walls and a white porcelain floor,
Silence dripped slowly from the hinge of a door.
Jayne wore tight latex - the shade of old bones,
while Debbie kept her heart in a box of cracked I‑phones.


Feel free to add a comment even continue the rhyme and make it a chain erp/srp rhyme. Literotica rules apply, no minors, no animals, and consent is a must.

I’ve been accused of “Suessing”.

If you want to avoid exact rhymes (which can at times result in singsong or Suess-like verse), you can try "imperfect rhyme," sometimes known as near rhyme or slant rhyme. Rhyme Zone has a searchable option for near rhymes that I've found helpful.

To the bullies of LitE,

I came here to share my words
not my credentials.

You decided my writing was AI.
You decided I was fake.

You called me names in private messages,
what you wouldn't say in public.

Then you ran to the mods.
You told them everything I wrote was AI-generated.

You tried to have me erased.

I'm done feeding your sickness.

So I'm stepping back.
Watching.

My creativity is housed elsewhere.

Google me.

You don't get to decide what I am.
You don't get to decide what I'm worth.

Maybe you'll learn how to be decent.
Maybe you won't.

Either way, I'll see it.
I'll document it.

Still here. Still human. Still a poet.
