Time for a rhyme ...
Take the title of your poem and line by line based on the title create a piece where every two lines rhyme ... this is similar to couplets, but for this challenge it will be more like an agnostic. The first letter of each line must be in bold ... minimum title length is three words and they must read straight up and down ... your piece should have NO spaces between the lines and the last three lines MUST rhyme ... if this seems confusing, I will start it off and you can come look to see what I am explaining ... the winner will receive a Prime Time Rhyme award certificate ... make sure you tag me as: @Danceinsilence in the comment box and not in your actual write. Failure to to do this will prevent me from finding and reading your work sooner ... the winner will be chosen based of rhyme ability, style and ingenuity ... have fun with this!

Box of Chocolates

Because he was a little drunk.

Or maybe it was because he

X-rayed my chest before declaring his love?

On our one-year anniversary,

Flowers were dropped off at my door which

Could've come from a cemetery.

However much he meant to impress and charm, it

Occurred to my brain, posthumously,

Conversations we'd had had never

Opened us voluminously –

Leading me to question the universe why

A voracious sweets lover like me

Thought there was a chance that I would be

Entertained extravagantly,

Showered with lots of candy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know, I know. I didn't follow the instructions.

Inspiration struck around midnight, and the instructions for this challenge

got mangled in my memory. So, I'm disqualified. But it was fun to write anyway,

even though it's about the universal subject of not getting what you want. :)
