On the Wings of an Ostrich

I want to be a poet
but have no skill for rhyme
somehow I mess it up
every single way

It looks to be so easy
ends should sound the same
but I always seem to lose
when I play this match

Why it is so hard
I do not understand
my teacher sees me struggle
and tries to lend a thought

Then she tells me something
that's really quite absurd
the greatest of the poets
don’t rhyme every single name

The words can flow freely
from the simple to the regal
I, too, can be a poet
on the wings of an ostrich
