I have been working on a poem for some time now. It is divided into various "Parts" and it will be a long one when completed. Due to the very nature of what I am writing, I just let my thoughts and feelings come out, within stanzas that have at least a meter and rhyming scheme. However, I make absolutely no efforts to maintain a given meter or rhyming scheme across different stanzas. Due to this, often the same "Part" of the poem will have occurrences of both iambic trimeter and tetrameter. Additionally, I use all sorts of rhyming schemes - aabb, abab, abcb, abccb, abcbab and so on - even within the same "Part". So, often, consecutive stanzas will end up having different meters and rhyming schemes. Is this bad writing? I do think it will be a bit difficult for the reader to find his/her flow when reading my poem, but can't that extra effort be seen as a part of the experience itself of reading it?
