Just like to say, to those who maybe aint 'voted' or wrote much or whatever on poetry before.

That it doesn't exactly have to rhyme. The flow is usually subtle and goes word to word.

And the structure of the piece must be appreciated for what it is. It might be done like that on purpose for artistic reasons. Like that's the effect they want.

It doesn't exactly follow the same rules of open mic. Meanings/story lines are usually hidden beneath the piece. And a story in a poem is not vital. There's different types.

Don't want to sound patronising. But it has to be said. Just in case. In the interests of fairness.
