STRUCTURE & FORM IN POETRY. Classical Poetry always has Structure even though it does not always rhyme. The Structure gives it metere and flow which facilitates reading and recitation. In my book - recitability is an essential character of a good Poem! . A lesser know Poetical Structure is RHYME ROYAL which inposes a strict metre (usually imabic pentameter) and a strict rhyming pattern a b a b b c c. Each verse must consist of seven lines. The number of verses is optional! As an Environmental Scientist I am concerned with the Conservation of Water which is the subject of this Rhyme Royal

nice poem. Thank you for the invite. I like the stucture even though I had never heard of rhyme royal before. The importance of water in our daily lives is discussed in this poem. In my opinion, the main theme of this poem is the need to preserve the most important substance on this earth. It also explores the appearance of water in many forms including; vapour as in 'in the air' and 'boiling steam', in the form of liquid as in 'waterfalls' and 'ocean' and in the form of solid as in 'ice' and 'frozen lakes' and in the term of 'scrape it of our windshields with a scraper' I would like to know about the strict rhyming pattern you mentioned here, about the a b a b b c c. thank you once again.
