    Rhyming help

    First of all, I am not much of a poet. I love to write and whenever my emotions and such are high I write what I am thinking in short, poem like, snippets.
    However, whenever I write these little notes and stories, any rhyme I try to make sounds as good as any main stream rapper can do.

    I would appriciate any help on improving my rhyming skill.

    Thank you.

    "Hey Kevin." "What?" "Theres a ditch there." "Sh*t!"

    You're most welcome. Two other suggestions. Here is practically a primer in how to rhyme gracefully and wittily:


    My other suggestion is that you not wrestle the syntax of a line into painful submission in order to get an end-rhyme.

    Yes that is what I was doing when I first took a stab at poetry. Then I realized that a non-rhyming poem is better than a forced one.
