Rhyme is not enough (Rukeyser)

I have been asked very often, "Don't you care about rhyme?" I do and I don't. That is, I care about the recurrence of sound deeply, deeply, and rhyme has never been enough for me. Rhyme, the European way, is is a return of sound once in a poem. I have, in my greed, wanted more than that, wanted modulation of sound changing, climbing as I think of it.
