To me, enjoyable poetry must have more than rhyme. It should also have rhythm so that the words roll effortlesly off the tongue. Next, it should have a message that moves you. Srjdsmith likes Robert Frost. His rhyme and rhythm are impeccable and his messages are subtle but still they move you. Myself , I prefer Alfred Lord Tennyson, Longfellow, and especially Rudyard Kipling. In my younger days I heard guys say that poetry was wimpy and girly. Read the charge of the light brigade and then tell me that is effeminate!
Before you guys think I'm some educated snob, I only graduated high school.
