;Rhyming Poetry

Why are some ***?ople against rhyming in poetry?


I’ve heard that rhyming in poetry is kind of dead, I guess, and ***?ople like to read more free verse now. Is this true? I always write in rhyme. It’s just more comfortable to me.

How to differentiate from good and bad poetry?


What should I look for? Also, is rhyming good for poetry, or does it distort the language? My teacher hates rhyming, but I like it because it creates a beat and appeals to the senses. Any thoughts?
