Also, you have a sterile and uninteresting personality so perhaps try to find your creative inspiration from the outside world rather than from within your own mind.
My catalogue of poetry includes all styles: blank verse, rhyming pairs, rhyming non-pairs, prose and various others.
You seem to suggest that rhyming poetry is somehow inferior to blank verse or prose. It is an opinion prevalent
in many who don't write or understand poetry. I like rhyming poetry as I like prose, I make no judgement on style,
but rather the content. Blake, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Coleridege all included rhyming poetry in their repertoire.
Your comment, as with many others of yours I'm afraid, suggests you're not a happy chappy, and that you have
a preference for spreading bile.

By the way, most poets I know find rhyming poetry to be easily the most difficult style in which to operate.
Many so-called poets who concentrate on prose, do so because they are unable to undertake the heavy load of rhyme.
