Replying to a comment on:

I don't rhyme enough, eh? (Ode) by Niphredil

Rhyming is not all-important. I know For some it's a challenge, a chance for a show, But let all beware of those who coerce Their disordered feelings to pre-ordered verse. I'm sure that a poem is oft viewed as neater When properly rhymed and according to meter If genius strikes you, by all means then rhyme; Less than that shall be denounced as a crime.
