Among my friends, we all like to write poetry and share it with each other. Out of all of us, I tend to write the most traditional poetry - set rhyme schemes, constant rhythm, all that jazz. Some of them tend to like writing in free verse more, which I always found really interesting. They can write poems with varying rhythm, highlighting specific points and letting other lines fade away. But, after a while it felt like some free verse poems were less poetry and more tweets with line breaks. Because of that, I got a bit piqued: some of these poems weren't even trying! So, I decided to take that irritation and turn it into my own poem, half rhyming and half not: the best of free verse and the best of a more traditional style. The poem you see here is the result of those efforts.
