Hi Amy,
Actually, you're spot on with the pseudo hip-hip rhythm that I seem to have fallen into. It used to be that imagery drove my poems, but now I'm fascinated with sound. To check the rhythm, I read them to myself really fast in a voice that's almost a whisper. That's because I can't vocalize my own stuff as fast and as cleanly as I'd like to with my voice at full volume. Too many internal rhymes. I'd need a good rapper to stand in for me at a reading. Stay cool, mama. ;) Atticus
