Also I know cliched rhymes are a no-no but I cant really follow that. Look at Micheal Jackson's "Liberian Girl" the song is based on the cliche. Not to many good rhymes or near rhymes for girl. I tend to think of one rule and forget the next a lot frown.

I'll bet Michael wrote that song...and artists have a different set of rules than writers only.

I watch your dirty wings
Feathers falling down
Hitting the cold hard ground
Like embers burning out.

Is this better??? YES
