(sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures) 3. Does the poem rhyme? It's important for beginner poetry to rhyme so they can then scaffold later on and appreciate blank verse and other forms that don't rhyme. 4. How is rhythm used? (natural vs. forced rhythms) Does the rhythm fit the subject of th...
