I'm curious, Stephen. Are there any examples of your poems we might see? Apologies if I've been oblivious.
For myself, I've come to like aaa bbb etc. rhyme schemes a lot, and seven beat lines (I don't think it's accurate to call them fourteeners, as I lop the head off the first iamb so often). That's probably because I'm trying to write light verse. I have a hunch that temperament may have as much to do with favorite rhyme schemes as the poet's intentions.
Best,
Ed
