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

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

I'm a terrible punster. And I love to rhyme. I just can't help myself.

I've been writing a lot of poetry recently. It helps me think and work things out.

I work best in rhyme and meter. I was most confident of myself in that way.

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

Poetry is always slightly mysterious, and you wonder what is your relationship to it.

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

Lyrics are very different. There is a clear line between that and a poem. Something that has been a source of great excitement and delight for me is this idea that I get to rhyme.

There'll always be working people in my poems because I grew up with them, and I am a poet of memory.
