I don't mind the structure I've seen battles in the past where it has been used very effectively. but just do you, or maybe make a brand new one, a combination of both maybe.

word @ chrit, thats what i figured as long as the flow wasn't affected negatively.
@ dios, thanks for the input, i think thats a good idea actually
my general feeling about that style isn't a strong one, i don't mind it at all provided the bars are good and it isn't used to make something look less stretched lol.
however, i do have one gripe with it, which relates to something i used to do in practically every bar i dropped years ago, which is the abundance of breaks and '...'s.
i have no problem with '...'s, i find them pretty essential, but only when they're being used for a purpose if you see what i mean. sometimes the break with '...', particularly when combined with a line break, just kinda throws me off the flow of my reading a bit. sometimes that's precisely what's needed, but for some bars the break is detrimental.
that said, if the bar was nice or whatever, it wouldn't really affect my rating of that one bar. i can overlook it no problem. though maybe on some level it might make me hold the verse in lower regard just cos of such a minor gripe. i dunno, it's hard to say really.
that's my only issue with it though, and it is very small.
^ Phly, appreciate the opinion. I couldn't agree any more about the '...' breaks. Something I will definitely keep in mind when writing my verses from now on.
