Holy rhyme and reason Batman, the Riddler is on the loose again, wronger than ever! Did you mean writer in the first line and is this piece a Riddle? No one will know if you don’t say so. Other problems for me with beginning poets: 1) Punctuate, use at least commas and periods. If you can’t master them, then leaving them out is laziness. 2) Only capitalize the first word of each sentence. I can only assume you don’t because your word program automatically does. That is laziness and this isn’t the Victorian Age. 3) Don’t force rhymes. They don’t make lines into poetry. They usually mangle any meaning before them. Write the lines first. Make your point, tell your story, paint your vista and then ask, will this benefit from rhythm and rhyme. I placed rhythm before rhyme, because without it, the latter does nothing. Re-work this, I will read it. If it is a true riddle and you take the time to make a better effort at it, others will make an effort to try to solve it.
