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.

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.
