From nursery rhymes, to advertising, to most forms of popular music, both children and adults like rhyme. Sadly, modern poetry has generally eschewed rhyme in favor of free-verse. Robert Frost once remarked that free-verse is like playing tennis with the net down. I would add that today it's also playing tennis on an unmarked court. In the academic world, the prose poem is in, and the traditional rhymed poem is out. My book runs counter to this aspect of modernity. Yet, admittedly, a few of my poems below are cinquains, which is a form of poetry with 22 syllables in 5 lines (2-4-6-8-2). The lines may or may not rhyme.
