I read poems for Mr Stovers yesterday. Most of it was in iambic tetrameter. It got slightly tedious hammering through the light verse, but there were a few more weighty gems among them (Hughes, Siegfried Sassoon).
I'm not a huge fan of strict rhyme schemes in poetry but I do like them in nursery rhymes.
He's a nice old fellow and pretty alert for 81
