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.
