There are so many constraints, so many things to take into account. I feel like most of metered and rhymed (let's not even START on metered AND rhymed) poetry I read sucks because it is so hard and no one noes how to do it right. I hate trying to write poetry like that. So I tend to hate metered and rhymed poems.<br /><br />That being said, I also need to say that I haven't actively sought out good metered/rhymed poetry from good poets. :p<br /><br />To me, poetry is an emotionally expression, and to put constraints like syllables per line and rhyming schemes... kills that emotion and freedom. Having a rhythm and a flow and energy to your lines and words is essentially, of course, but I don't like strict meters. <br /><br />But that's just my own opinion. :p<br />That being said, I think your poem sounds pretty. But to me, it also feels fluffy. Like.. what's the point? what's it trying to say? And I've no idea where to pause and start new thoughts since you don't have any punctuation. :p<br /><br />ilu!sadexcuse4amangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742853063265094712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852474824982150984.post-49369853387399890222010-06-07T15:10:27.813-06:002010-06-07T15:10:27.813-06:00Yay for British history!!!!
