4 X 4 X 4

Most mums, know just
what kids must have,
when they feel sick;
kind care, warm love.

WOW.

I fully understand the sentiments involved.

However, I cannot relate them to the title ?
Jim.

Now, that's bloody simple.

Too simple for a simpleton to comprehend.

Is it a common format or something you are experimenting with ?

And Marty, 4 letters in every word. That's the hard bit.

Just something I was trying Jim. To write a poem with just four letters in every word. I found it hard. I've changed the title

Marty, have and love are not exact rhymes, but rhymes nevertheless.

Not sure what juice you are on Nev but please send me some ?


Have and Love only thing in common is they both end in ve.


Bob

1 x 1 x 1

?

If you want the full bit Bob, words like have and love , even and given, short and hurt are technically called slant rhymes. As far as I can find out, there are no right and wrong or good and bad rhymes, only different types of rhymes, which writers choose as their preference takes them.

What about this Neil.

THE EGOTIST.

I.

Short,succinct and completely to the point Neville. The 'I's' have it. The poem also keeps to the title without wandering and meandering off the 4 x 4 track

Well done - I'm still laughing and very impressed

Cheers

Maureen

Or the Pessimist

'Y'

Not in my book Nev it either Perfectly rhymes or it does not.

Slanted sideways upside down reverse or slight attempts at rhymes, just do not cut the muster.
