I don't think poetry has to rhyme though, but I'd like modern day poets to consider rhyming poetry as equally valid.<BR/><BR/>The problem with rhyming poetry, that I see, is that sometimes poets incessantly choose Carolyn Cordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928724006245769572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441272000221745733.post-49109773288191470362009-02-10T14:11:00.000-08:002009-02-10T14:11:00.000-08:00Linda, thanks for your feedback.

I believe that true poetry rhymes simply because to me, if it doesn't it just as well could be someone just writing a string of thoughts, and if you're going to do that you might just as well write a story. To me a poem tells a story but with rhythm Carolyn Cordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928724006245769572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441272000221745733.post-66608004246626228652009-02-07T01:45:00.000-08:002009-02-07T01:45:00.000-08:00The question is not to rhyme or not to rhyme, but ...The question is not to rhyme or not to rhyme, but to be poetic when doing <BR/>so.

Any moron can rhyme, doesn't make them a poet though.Carolyn Cordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928724006245769572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441272000221745733.post-10516176400828623022009-02-04T04:56:00.000-08:002009-02-04T04:56:00.000-08:00I can't think of a single poem that I have written...I can't think of a single poem that I have written that end rhymes, but I do have some internal rhyming and slant rhymes in some, if not many.
