Rhyme and reason ...

... `Write What You Like'.

As Kay Ryan's poem demonstrates, though, rhyme need can be employed more imaginatively than is often the case. You can even scatter it in fragments throughout the poem, giving the poem a kind of subliminal unity (I do this all the time and have come to calling it chromatic rhyme, but you can call it what you like, or call it nothing at all).
