  Rhyming shows the skill of a great writer, I know its your contest, but read Whitman and tell me he isn't amazing then you'll see a great poet who doesn't need to rhyme my friend.

  I do understand that not all poets need to rhyme but I do it in almost all of mine...I think it shows great skill in the writer that they can get a message across but also choose certain words to make up a rhyme scheme.
