I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind
I hate you so much that it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme
I hate the way you're always right
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worse when you make me cry
I hate the way you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all
I hate the way you're not around. In poems, rhyming is not the only thing that matters. You also have to make sure that the meter and the rhythm is on point to make it good and to get and keep the reader's attention. In this poem the writer usually uses 3x4 I ams then breaks it with 1x3 I Ams.
For exmple here;
"I hate the way you talk to me -4 I am
And the way you cut your hair -4 I am
I hate the way you drive my car- 4 I am
I hate it when you stare "-3 I am
So here it uses keeps it the same for 3 times then at the end of the paragraph it breaks the rhythm. This is good because it makes a change and makes it more dramatic and more catchy. The meter helps make the message more powerful.
I hate the way you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
In a poem the way you say it is also and important thing so you have to make sure that the you say it with the right tone. Changing the tone also makes it more interesting because if you keep it the same then it becomes boring. In this poem the tone first angry then it becomes sad and she strats crying. ''

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all''
