>And so few poets rhyme anymore.
I like rhyming, but I detest couplets. They sound trite, like jingles in commercials. I have to have ABAB rhyming patterns. Then again, I did write a poem with each stanza in aa/bcbc/C/A pattern. Here's the first stanza: "Manic depression makes an impression. Be bold, be brief, be cold, you're chief. That's no way to conquer your grief. When did your job turn to obsession?" I sense a horrible translation exercise...*shudders* ~Wright
