Most believe that placing rhymes at the end of some random thoughts makes it poetry. More often it creates a collission effect for the reader and almost a ringing in the ears. Additionally, the entire line becomes contrived to conform to the terminal word that was picked for the sole purpose of ringing with the one above. Write down your feelings, the images they bring to mind and try to incoroporate some metaphor or at least an interesting viewpoint or unique take on it. Then ask youself, would these lines benefit from added structure, meter or rhyme scheme?
