Since it is classified as free verse, it is classified as an open form poem. However it does contain traditional rule influences, including sound devices. It does not have the same syllables per line, alliteration, or meter, but that does not mean Bukowski does not know how to add rhythm to this poem. There is rhythm in the repetition of one set of three words, which are “don’t do it,” which is said multiple times to add emphasis (3). The emphasis helps drive the poem forward to the point and help the reader hear the emphasis when they read
