Nice response to the discussion on the dove thread about using one end rhyme.
It's only we humans who aim our affection
at language as if it's a tasty confection.
While the howl and the chirp don't come under inspection
we cherish each word and each interconnection.
We obsess on true meaning, mull over inflection,
examine our lives in the glare of reflection.
Distracting ourselves with our constant dissection—
the curse and the grace of the human complexion.
That's all I got, and I'm sure the meter's screwed as usual, but it was fun.
