I used to rhyme my poems all the time, but then I had a Creative Writing teacher who was against "sing songy" poetry, so I learned how to stop in order to please her. Now, I find that I like the freedom of not having to make every poem rhyme. But, I'm curious what others think. Here's an example of my work, it's an acrostic poem, so the first letter of each line spells out the name of the person it's written about:
Just like the sun, you radiate in my thoughts.
As a leaf gathers light, I hold to you.
My darling, your name is signed within me:
Inked so it stands for all my life;
Etched so it cannot be washed away.
What do you think?
Just like the sun, you radiate in my thoughts.
As a leaf gathers light, I hold to you.
My darling, your name is signed within me:
Inked so it stands for all my life;
Etched so it cannot be washed away.
What do you think?
