In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, 'Is it good, friend?'
'It is bitter - bitter,' he answered;
'But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.'
~Stephen Crane

To be honestI find it hard to get past the rhymes. I don't really like rhyming poetry too much :)

i can understand thatrhyming needs to be well done. i'm really into spoken word at the moment. especially the spoken word from sage francis, he's a rapper but his poems are sublime. you should check out his poem "hopeless" its beautiful
