47. Creation [100 poems challenge]

47.          Creation

Constrained to match the theme,
I search for inspiration,
I need a rhyming scheme
To suit the situation;
The accents and the rhymes
Require some cogitation,
And fail to work sometimes
Which adds to my frustration.
At last a turn of phrase
Brings feelings of elation,
While boring old clichés
Are cursed with condemnation.
All verse is circumscribed,
Each has its culmination:
This poem has described
The tale of its creation.

Comments: I like irony and being meta, although this doesn’t necessarily make this a particularly good poem. By the way, do you know just how many rhymes for “-ation” there are?!

Themes to come: 48. Childhood; 49. Stripes; 50. Breaking the Rules; 51. Sport; 52. Deep in Thought
