when you say you want rhyme, does the whole poem/song have to rhyme?
because I have one I would like to enter, but only parts of it rhyme. -
-
hmm i want a good majority of it to rhyme but if you look at other poems i have judged, i'm not tough! i will only take away a few points for no rhyming as long as it has a good flow!
