Quick Write: My Ballad Reflection

Allen and Jasper read my ballad about a knight named Cinori. Both of them had very similar feedbacks on my ballad. Both of them complained that I don't have a consistent rhyme scheme, and that some of my stanzas didn't even include rhymes. However, it is because rhymes are very hard to find when talking about a certain topic, I'm not a professional poet, I can't think of rhymes just whenever I want to. I didn't know that a ballad needs a consistent rhyme scheme so I just added rhymes I thought made the poem fluent. Jasper also mentioned that the my ballad was too long. It wasn't that long, Jasper, Mr.Dahl didn't set a limit to it so it was alright. However, I didn't plan on writing so much at the first place, I was thinking about a 20line ballad, and instead I ended up with 88lines. The plot of the story has different stages, and it is indescribable within 20 lines, that's why I had 88lines, and I even thought I could a few more stanzas in there.
