I get the idea from your works that you feel poems should rhyme; they do not, of course. I am taking an English final tomorrow and it is all based upon our poetry unit that we just finished with. We have studied many a poem, and many did not rhyme and were just as effective. However, rhyme DOES help set a tone, but sometimes you want to be careful when to use it and when not to.
That is all I am going to say. biggrin The challenge to me isnt to write good poetry, it's the challenge to make it rhyme that interests me. I also do not feel that all poems should rhyme(i have left a good reveiw on poems that didnt if you hadnt noticed) because there are only so many words that can rhyme with each other when they are typed and still give the feeling the writer intended. So if someone is satisfied with their poem not rhyming i wont stop them because its their work and i would never ask them to completely change it but, merely suggest something 'I' the reader would rather see in that form of artwork
