Amy wrote: "Malcolm,

Your conclusion that "no rhyming poems" have been selected is just false. Before you boast such blatant claims, you need to go back through all of the months and determine if no rhyming ..."

I did as you sugggested Amy and here are the figures for the last nine months:

March - five shortlisted, none rhyming
April - seven shortlisted, none rhyming
May - five shortlisted, none rhyming
June - six shortlisted, none rhyming
July - seven shortlisted, none rhyming
August - five shortlisted, none rhyming
September - eight shortlisted, none rhyming
October - six shortlisted, none rhyming
November - nine shortlisted, none rhyming.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Maybe I don't know what a rhyme is...

Nine months - fully justifying my use of the phrase "month after month after month" - and not a single rhyming poem shortlisted from a total of 58.

There is something very wrong here.

I am even more troubled now to be accused of bullying, simply for drawing attention to this.

Let me just be clear: non-rhyming poetry made me a fan of poerty many years ago. I currently prefer to write and read rhyming poetry myself - but not to the exclusion of other forms. What I seek here is balance - nothing more.

Thanks Jerin. The poem is just what I need at the moment.
