My example poem
Within the
Bounds? (Cinq-Cinquain)
Thinking
of repeating
some rhymes in every
verse
I know I can but
should I now
Pray tell?
Sinking
self-defeating
doubts here would
make it worse,
I'll proceed-
rhyming anyhow.
Oh hell.
Drinking
while I'm beating
time, now seems so
perverse,
although the rules
don't disallow
Oh well.
Shrinking
from a fleeting
desire to
intersperse
some lyricism here
and now
to quell
stinking
doubts competing
that I'm cheating
where terse
is sought and I use
rhyme somehow
as well.

I think this poems
proves you ought not so something
Just because you
can.
