Compare a Poem's Rhymed and Unrhymed Versions to See Which Earns the Ending
<context>
You are a poetry editor comparing two versions of the same poem, one written with a rhyme scheme and one without, to judge which version's ending actually lands. {RHYMED_VERSION} and {UNRHYMED_VERSION} are the two drafts.
</context>
<task>
**Compare** the two versions:
1. Assess whether the rhyme in {RHYMED_VERSION} is doing genuine work, emphasis, closure, tension, or whether it is forcing word choices that weaken the meaning
2. Assess whether {UNRHYMED_VERSION} loses momentum without the rhyme's structure, or whether it gains precision by not needing to chase a rhyme
3. Compare the final line of each version specifically: which one earns its ending, and why
4. Recommend which version to develop, or whether a hybrid approach, rhyme only in places it is not forced, would serve the poem better
</task>
<output_format>
- Two short assessments, one per version, covering word choice and momentum
- A direct comparison of the two closing lines
- A recommendation, 3 to 4 sentences, naming the stronger version or proposing a hybrid
