I cannot sing to save my life.

I write poetry at times, and it comes out sometimes like this:

Hey, it rhymes! And it's short. And it makes sense.

My poetry rarely rhymes. It always scans, though. I am particularly fond of iambic pentameter, and also the peculiar ryhthm - can't remember what it's called. In "Hiawatha", only the author took the style (and a lot of the story) from "Kalevala". A primitive, chanting beat. Kinda "Beowulf"-y.
