There is a kind of poetic cadence that draws me in to so many, but when they try too hard it doesn't work.<br /><br />I mutter my own words out loud to see if there is a rhythm and I know I'm on the way when I hear it. Maintaining it is something else again, but cadence and rhythm are what keep readers reading. It's worth the effort.<br /><br />Good luck on your own writing. It'll happen.
