Description STOP FORCING RHYMES
You sound like this sometimes
And then I get annoyed
But you view your work with joy

And you think everything
Must be written like this or something
No matter how awful the turnout
You think this is what poetry is all about

Sometime you have a good topic
And your work would be good, but just stop it
Stop writing in rhymes unless you know how to do it
And use properer grammar, their's nothing too it

Try, instead of making two lines together rhyme, making your own flow, like:

Make the first sentence the start.
Then you put this one next.
That way you keep rhymes apart.
And you're no longer stressed or vexed.

That would be:
A
B
A
B

Or, you can go with:
A
B
C
A/B

I've been writing poetry awhile.
But you can also try not making poetry rhyme at all.
Who said a poem HAS to rhyme?

It doesn't, that was the point of the poem... I tried to rhyme as awfully as I could to show everyone how they should just not rhyme because rhyming is awful when you don't know how to do it...

Truly? Not awful, but poorly done, per se.

Ah, sorry... I'm poor at spelling and I wasn't paying attention to what I was typing. And the "worse" it was, the "better" it was, since my intention was to portray some of the horrible things I have seen up here...

Well, you did portray that. XD

Heehee So have you worked with writing in specific forms of poetry?

EthanMilesGrey In reply to atsy [2011-08-12 00:51:25 +0000 UTC]

I write in a lot of different forms. But while I write poetry, I'm not a poet. I'm an author.

Oh... Well, I guess this might not be as relevent, but what is the hardest part about writing in fixed forms?

And what kind of stories do you write?

EthanMilesGrey In reply to atsy [2011-08-12 02:00:59 +0000 UTC]

Keeping consistent is the hardest part.

And I have one fan-fiction, and two stories that are original.
However, I quit one of them due to a fading interest in it.
The other one, however, is being revealed next week.

Awesome! I'll be waiting and looking out for it!

Thanks! The fan-fiction, if I get it back up, is called "SOLDIER: Chronicles", which is based off of the world of FF7.

My actual story is called "The Legionnaire."
