Thank you, I appreciate the compliment,AND more importantly the feedback. It is interesting to me how divided people are about rhyming in poetry, some hate it and some hated when it doesn't have it. What you said is very insightful and true though, too many times it does sound forced. I have looked at some of my past poetry with that in mind and have seen many examples of this to be honest to both of us, but am unsure what to do to change it.
I never learned to write peoptry in a class or from a book or anything like that; I learned from helping a musician friend I had years ago who wanted me to help writing lyrics. She liked the unique way I see the world (the only person in this world to respect that!!) and the fact that I was always able to write to any beat she would bring. Most of the things I write these days start out in my head the same way but seem to end up be mutated away from that cadence I originally start with.
