I enjoy pretty well any poetry that rhymes. I also like poetry that doesn’t rhyme, though. My inspirations are pretty simple. Whenever I see something cool or want to remember something, but yet can’t exactly write a story on it, I turn to poetry. It makes things sound so pretty. I mostly write poetry that rhymes.
