the darkness of the niight (comments thread)

I liked the images in both your poems. I did struggle with the rhythm of the first one some - but that could just be me - had to read it a few times to get it flowing.

Liked them both.

Poems don't have to rhyme!!!

Keep going, practise is the best way to improve (in all things); at the end of the day you are writing for yourself to express your thoughts, feelings, emotions so really it is immaterial what anyone else thinks.

lifemates...what a sweet thought provoking word

There are wonderful poems here, if it's a help I found playing music while I write an aid, but music to fit the mood in which you find yourself writing, it can kinda give you a rhythm.Look for words that don't necessarily rhyme but maybe have a same resonance in your head as I always recite back in my head with a John Hurt (actor) voice.Sometimes even cutting out alot of words to reduce a poem to maybe four or five words a line effective.It still is a wonderful learning thing for me so rhyme or no does'nt matter just get that beat ion your head and off ya go
