Reyvrex asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 5 years ago

Do you seriously want poems without rhyme?

Poetry is a special way of saying. Why should it be no different from your ordinary way of speaking?

    I enjoy both rhyming and free verse poetry. I have always had a preference for rhyme though, and can not imagine poetry where it was not used. Internal rhyme can be more subtle though and of course the rhythm of the poem is all important. So answering your question Reyvrex, I don't want all poetry to be non rhyming, that would be miserable.

    Well it's your choice. Personally I write freeverse poems more often than rhymed ones so my choice of words and emotions won't be limited to rhymes.

    Milton surely argued about rhyme in poetry. He could as owell argue about the use of water for ships. At the end of the day, Shakespeare is Shakespeare.
