Hi Hellon,
no worries, I don't really mind sour grapes, (unless they are extremely sour to the point that I cannot swallow them) though this comment does not sound sour at all. About the down rate, no worries either. I used to pay attention to it but now I don't. I'm mean, who was I kidding? I am an amateur so my poems are probably a 3 and a 4 rather than a 5. When that logic hit me, I no longer minded.

I also didn't vote on your poem.

About the rhyme... Hehe that's call an identical rhyme. It's considered really low type of rhyme because people tend to think of it as the writer did not try hard enough to find a perfect rhyme.

In that sense, I can understand why people may not considered using the same word as rhyme.

However, if you would like to challenge me to write a shadow sonnet with either perfect rhymes, eye rhymes, or even slant rhymes but no identical rhymes... I can give that challenge a try.
