Analysis of A Softer Rhyme
Are the feelings soft,
but the words rock hard
Turning emotion into anger
or worse
Are those wishes pure
when the ink goes down
Are the letters aligned
or off course
Are the feelings soft,
but the sentences vile
When frustration takes over
your rhyme
Is the Muse trying to whisper
as you shout to the crowd …
“Step back,
—nothing forced is sublime”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
