Some of what you say would read better if you worked out the images, metaphors and things without forcing your lines to rhyme. You can rhyme, there's nothing wrong with that, but not at the expense of better working out the other things. Maybe the best way to explain is that it feels rushed.Hmm see as a person against the "freeverse" style I see where you are coming from I feel the direct opposite so I guess we have to agree to disagree. My word choice was used to make a rhyme yes there is other words that can be used there is always other words that can be used. As a non freeverse poet I use words that do rhyme. But as for being rushed I am not sure how you interpreted that maybe a better word would be chopy due to the lines being short in some areas
