Liquid Courage

A bit of a burn
and the fluid slips down
I take my turn
To swallow a round
A bit of good beer
And I'm ready to go!
To find someone dear
To kiss and move slow.
A bit of rice wine
Oh much more than that!
I'm a drunk and divine
Lush of a cat.
To booze is to bond
And we brothers raise high
The funnel of beer bong's
And mugs to night skies
So I grip my girl close
And I pour her a glass
Silence her with a dose
And let our judgement lapse
One other likes this.

Though you may believe that open structure is crap and thus may very well not appreciate my poetry (and though you had felt the need to needlessly explain this fact through your user profile, in comment on a poem of mine, and in a poem that you had written yourself) I will not let this affect my voting of your poetry. Thus, I give this a +
Now, I'd like to take this opportunity to explain why I appreciate both poetry with a rhyme scheme and open poetry.
The reason I believe in open verse is the fact that in some situations in relation to a few potential poems an attempt to force the not yet birthed art into a confining scheme can thoroughly limit the poem. Therefore, I choose to allow openness rather than to remove depth from my poetry so as to bastardize it simply to make it sound pretty.
Yes, some poetry sounds very nice with a rhyme scheme (I am actually quite appreciative of your poems and had A*d a poem of yours) and not all poetry is hindered by a rhyme scheme but I don't feel that it is coherent to simply disregard a whole style of poetry simply because an assemblage uses it incorrectly.
