Is this a bad thing?.....

[not quite punk]

i like to have like every song i write to have ryme scheme. like every other line ryhmes or something. i think songs should, its more challenging that way.
(see my reply for more)

its not more challenging that way.. at least not in most cases.. when people try to rhyme it takes away from the song and you dont have to think about as much deeply
....but if you can make it sound good, then keep doin it

rhymes that are good and seem like they were by accident are good... rhyiming cat with mat... not so much.

i make it all tie together, heres an example....

Left Out

I remember the first day that I saw him holding your hand.
I got so **** jealous and I didn't know what I should do.
Well I found out you've had him so I guess I can understand.
I guess that I just won't be the one that belongs with you.

I'll try not to care If you don't love me, I just want you to be happy.
I'll try not to get upset and feel sad. Well I hope that you are glad.
Because all I know is that I'm not.

A few weeks later I started to know some stuff about you.
I thought that you were so cool and you looked so great.
Then I saw you with him again and I didn't know what to do.
I wish that I could be with you but I guess I was too late.

I'll try not to care If you don't love me, I just want you to be happy.
I'll try not to get upset and feel sad. Well I hope that you are glad.
Because all I know is that I'm not.

I've known you for a while and now I feel so close to you.
I just don't wanna end up being the one you forget about.
I see you with him all the time and I just don't know what to do.
Well I guess that I'm going to be the one that gets left out.

i do it if it sounds good to me. i think of music more of like a ryming piece of peotry. i like it more if it ryhmes like this cus it takes more time for me, i can easlily make a ton of lines into a song but making them ryme and fit in is challlening.

Hey thats songs not half bad, and although your rhymes are overall very simple they dont seem too forced in most places. Seems like you have a good idea of what your doing, just keep an eye out for forced rhymes

[Daven]

the problem when you try to rhyme too much, the rhyme takes away the meaning of the song. Or you might put something stupid just because it has to rhyme. i like a poem with a good rhyming scheme, but the rhyming should go with the poem. no stupid rhymes or out of topic, just intelligent with-topic rhymes.

exactly, i only do it if it fits but i can make it work a lot
