Queen poems.

Quite contrary. A poem which rhymes automatically sounds corny. There are exceptions to this rule, but they are few and far between (the recently named 'Do Not Go Gently...' by Dylan Thomas is one of those few).

Besides, there are other types of sound patterning that can succesfully used in poems other than just simple rhyme, like assonance or consonance etc. Depending on the context of course, but in my opinion they are not quite as obvious (and ridiculous) as rhyme.

I believe good poems should rhyme.

Well...

If we think that song lyrics are also poems, Queen have lots of songs that rhyme. Just to name a few: Killer Queen, Too Much Love Will Kill You, First and Second part of Bohrap, etc... Obviously, not all Queen lyrics use the form ABCB (like this poem)

I write some poems too, just for fun and I can't avoid rhymes.

Anyway, good poem!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I love Queen!
How about you?

Regal and dandy,
Breaking new ground.
Four stars, in their own right,
With an enviable sound.

Hard rock and ballads
They performed it all.
They even tried disco
And survived the fall.

Giving in not an inch,
Giving all to the fans
Legends in their own time
Conquering nearly all lands.

Their music lives on,
Has indeed been revived.
Despite rap, pop and boy bands,
Queen has survived.[/QUOTE]

That is very good :D:D

Roger rides my caboose,
As Brian ties the noose,
And Freddie takes his clothes off and lets loose,
While John shares similarities with a goose
[/QUOTE]

HAHA! I love it! it made me laugh out loud! ahhh sheer brilliance...

I love Freddie of all my heart, and I use Roger as a spice.
Brian walks in the moonlight with his teloscope, trying not to get eaten by a wolf, and Deky sleeps wit strippers. Peace and love to you all!

Is that just the best Heiku ( not rhyming, sorry if I did´nt spell it right xD) phoem ever, or what? xDxD

^Or not! Sorry I´m a skizo :,(..

Freddie
He's sexy
I want him to....

...ok, i can't finish this poem for a good reason!
