There's something so wonderful about writing in rhyme where it isn't just the meaning of the words, it's the music to the words and the shape and the sound.

Once in awhile you have a thought, and you rhyme it.

My favorite rhymes are sort of half-rhymes where you might just get the vowel sound the same, but it's not really a true rhyme. That gives you far more flexibility to capture the feeling you're trying to express. But sometimes it's best not to have any rhyme.

I mean, when it's time to rhyme rhyme, I can get down for mine.

Assonance is not the enemy of rhyme. It helps us to respect rhyme, which has been spoiled by mechanical use.

With the super duper flow, I created that one word rhyme style.

I saw I could rhyme words. It came simply to me. But I wrote some pretty horrible songs that I still have on tape.

The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry.

My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.

I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
