An observation - in all the poems you've posted, Ray, the rhyme appears natural only because of the enjambment. How long before it's seen as cliched and unimaginative?
I was being deliberately pig headed in my declamtions earlier: it's fun to be a false prophet.
English isn't a very rhyme - friendly language. Witness words like 'mountain', 'month', 'rhythm', 'anabaptist', 'deer'. Either no rhymes or ridiculous ones. Can't write a tragic epic about an anabaptist deer, for instance.
That's the new poetry challenge for the month.
Good pomes, btw. Thanks for posting.
