rhymes drive poems into a ditch;
the remaining words
spinning like the wheels of a car
that has rolled as it careened off
the highway, its erstwhile occupants
trapped inside, unable to speak.

It's true that rhymes constrict sometimes.
But it's also fine when words align;
It helps me find some peace of mind.
I'm all for the car's wheels spinning in a ditch imagery. Good stuff. (But rhyming can work at times...)
