    i really am tired of reading poems that think it is compulsory to ryhme, and those that follow the same ryhming sound, 'should, would, bud, could' thats not poetry... well it is, just in its worst form, now normally this would be a good thing if its used properly and in the right context, but many a time, it isnt, use something called, alliteration, or assonance, strange new words to some, try possibly entering into enjambment... to those who dont know what they mean here it is a list...

    *Assonance : The repetition of identical or similar sounds in neighbouring words - the consonants differ while the vowels match
    *Alliteration: A series of words near each other which begin wih the same sound to create particular sound effects.
    *Enjambment: Where lines of poetry are not stopped at the end - they run into the next sentence

    trust me, some people dont like this, but all the best poets have done it.

    Yea I get what your saying....I ryhme my poetry most of the time....but I hate it when I read poems that pull out the most random words just so they will ryhme
