[Prudence]

I write mostly stream of consciousness. (Huge surprise, I know. I'll just wait here a moment while you pass out from not surprise. Done? Okay.)

But I'm way more interested in alliteration and internal rhyme than in traditional syllable count/end syllable rhyme. I love approxiate rhyme and assonance. Actually, if I had more free time I'd probably try to write in the traditional Anglo-Saxon heroic style. I lovelovelove the descriptive phrases in Anglo-Saxon poetry.

At work we have a tradition the people who've been with the department a while get roasted with a poem when they leave. I've been chief poet for the past 6 or so years. Those require the traditional rhyme and meter and thus when I'm writing for me I like to do more free verse.
