Thinking Allowed Is Aloud



Thinking Allowed Is Aloud by Omar Cherif, One Lucky Soul

 
Saw her walking on the beach
O’ what a sweet peach
So up there so out of reach
Lord. Pray on and preach
Nothing to learn or to teach
Nameless beauty — Sheesh! 
 
Indescribable
Immeasurable
Desire is pleasurable
Glory to all edibles
Highly incredibles 
 
Bluntly, bearly bearables
A chari-table that is chairable
Beware! This rhyming is flammable
*
Instagrammable

*
Words, my Friends, are jammable
But if you flinch, the rap may be intangible
Can you wrap…. your head… around it?
These verses, expandable
Nothing is expendable
 
What happened to the beach beauty
The glorious mermaid cutey?
Asks the curious reader
Says: “Get back to the meter”
 
All that can be said is the edibles kicked in
Feeling them down deep within
And I forgot why I wrote this silly poem
Maybe just something to show ‘em 
 
So I carried on and deviated
Now elated, satiated
Inebriated, curated
Playing around opens the door gated
Of linguistic minds that appreciate it. 
 
 -----------------
 
 
Allow me to indulge you into the intricate world of rhyme & meter I toy around with herein. 
 
Now, the poem starts with conforming rhymes and meters. But then right after the writer was hit by the edibles you can see the next couple of stanzas breaking away from all forms — even sense and reason, as well as one rhyme. Liberation at last! 
 
When the reader became seemingly bemused by the new chaos, asking about the origin and enticing the writer to return to the structure of the meter, he kind of does, but not perfectly as you can see in the last couple of stanzas. You know, because he is a rebel like that.
I think something that may be somewhat subconsciously inferred is that rules are made to be broken, and learning them first helps. 
 
Enjoint.
