Hopeless hypochondriac
And everything elegiac
It's no poetic prize;

The winners claim they're everywhere
The sinners blame their silverware
Beginners aim forever there
--for sorrow's in their eyes.

I'll not attempt to tell deep truth
Or spell the rules to hapless youth
As sellers always shine their booths
I'm just here for the lies.

'Cause after all, when duty calls
And canvas in contrast appalls
The uglinness in life is stalled
And woes become the wise.

Remind me not, how I forgot
Lest I recall times ere the draught
Of liquor, by lost love oft sought
When one has no disguise;

I'll not be long, I may be wrong
And suicide befit the strong
(but)
Misfortune, when it come in throngs
---it's no poetic prize.

If someone where to inquire of me how to achieve both perfect rhythm and rhyme, while at the same time making it look easy and managing to say something of worth - I'd simply point here and say, "Well... like that".

Of course, I'd be at a loss to explain it any more precisely.... but appreciate it, I certainly do.

Extremely well done!!!!

that is quite a nice rhyme scheme, and worth reading twice thinks I. The opening stanza really "grabbed me" too.

Cleverly done. Well written. You have very interesting rhyme schemes for all your poems. They read with ease and somehow match the theme you have chosen to write about.
