This is an experimental kind of poetry that I write that uses rhythm and rhyme in jarring ways that correlate with resolution/revelations. The intent is to try to "jar" the reader out of the sing-song rhythm at the right point. The tension builds, then is released but not in the way the mind might expect. It isn't exactly free verse and it isn't exactly a rhyming scheme. It is somewhere in-between and is a unique kind of style as far as I know. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://malachi17.art/posts/worldoflies/

I forgot the little I once knew about verse and rhythm. It seemed to flow smoothly to me except for the final verse. I'd be curious to know what the poetically inclined think.
BTW, I liked it.

The final verse breaks the "flow". Get it?
