This is a poem about poems
Poems are very fun to write
It's very fun to write poems
If you get the syllables right

I am writing three stanzas here
Each stanza comprised of four lines
The rhyming pattern should be clear
I think the syllables are fine

This is the last stanza today
I hope that you like my poem
Poetry's a fun game to play
And it sounds awesome when spoken

[Deleted]

Okay, now say it out loud.

I just don't like how the last line breaks me because it's the only one that doesn't rhyme with anything.
Like, maybe other lines could've done that but no. My eyes or ears weep at the end.

It's a slant rhyme. Poem, spoken. It's used to draw attention to specific things within poems (see, for instance, William Blake's The Tyger, where he rhymes eye with symmetry though everything else rhymes perfectly). It's a perfectly acceptable poetic technique.
