1. As a reporter my expertise would not specifically include that of poetry. Poetry is only one part of literary study and thus not everyone will have an advanced understanding of poetry. You wouldn't expect a reporter for a large news corporation to be educated in poetry would you? Then why would you automatically expect it of me?

2. No poetry does not always consist of rhyming words or phrases, but for the most part using rhymes in a poem will add to the flow and readability of the poem. In this case the flow and readability is zero. I was suggesting that the use of rhymes may have added to the quality of the poem.

Thank you for attacking me about it though. Maybe next time you shouldn't assume I am misinformed or uneducated.

It was in no way a personal attack, I just felt as though you were basing your criticism on a misinformed idea, I appreciate that you have elaborated.

However I am glad that you are able to display your literary knowledge to me after taking the time to Google it.

Thank you for verbally attacking me like I am an absolute dick.
