Picking at Poetry

Picking at poetry, like picking at scabs 

rhyming couplets, yes please, they sound fab

Half rhymes, internal rhymes, they really are the thing, 

repetitive refrains run like choruses to sing.

Syllabic emphasising, hey it's the big iamb, 

pattering metric feet, all kicking at the plan.

What's the meta-phor, and what's a simile like, 

I'd be better off downtown, riding my new bike.

Why am I stressing out  about poetic lines, 

as writing poems in free verse is a favourite of mine?

Can't stop thinking  of these poetic terms , I really need to rest, 

from sonnets, ballads , villanelles, and pesky anapaests!
