MEMORABLE AUTUMN...( OCTOBER CONTEST

Autumn plans reversed out of reach
away from the heat of sandy beach
My desire travels to a cold and hard city
Snow in great Canada, oh what a pity!

Imagine cuddling is fun so cozy
blushing beneath covers feeling rosy
wishing a third would pop up soon
with a face like a silvery blue moon

perhaps we could park in Banana city
we'd be alone mindless of nitty gritty
recalling kids desired another sibling
a lovely one ,wow you are now dribbling

a girl should by next October be due
how memorable it will be, there's no clue
we once enjoyed such a one can't forget
our first Sunny, we were happy to beget

is try not to force the rhyme. the syntax of the speech needs to flow, and flowing from low to high language make it feel forced. too obvious with rhyme, try to hide them with enjambment- continuing the line in to the next without a pause... so you don't end the line with a completed phase, but a phrase that leads you on to the next line without a pause so the rhyme gets blended in the reading.
Most rap in forced. But it works because rhymes repeated within the lines and all over the place to create a kind of music. The lines here are a bit sing-songy, you can make the lines more interesting.

than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

and compose one afresh
as you all know I am a free style poet

Not to contest is best
Hence out goes

good on this one, just try making it a little smoother. Give it another try! Just suggestions, but try shortening up some lines, like this:

Snow in great Canada, oh what a pity!

With the others. It's a nice piece but the rhyme does seem to be pushed a bit. relax. loosen up and have fun when you write! I enjoyed it.

Pegasus was a genius,
living within a suit of difference.
He liked what he was,
nodded in respect and
simply flew . . . away.
