This is interesting. It's very rare now a days to find rhyme poetry. Everyone seems to think its to "old fashion" or "repetitive." The thing is, it doesn't have to be, and i think this is a good example of that. I think a lot of that has to do with the visual arrangement on the page. Was it intentional?
All of this would be impossible to try and
convince strictly "free verse" writers though. I just don't get it. Writers stress creativity, but refuse to be it in that sense.

Hmm... Yes, you are right, we need more creative writers that will use free verse rhyme schemes. My teacher really pushed it in highschool, but I do see a growing trend of people who don't want to take the time and effort to make a polished piece with rhyme, rhythm, repetition, alliteration, metaphors, etc. etc. It goes to show how the quality of the piece is watered down due to over explanation and over wordy-ness. They tend to do too much and leave little for the mind to imagine, which makes the piece tasteless and unfulfilling. But yeah, I will reiterate that I agree with you a 100%.
