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. And having to twist words around so they fit in a rhyme better is just ***?n to me, and gets me thinking more creatively.

the rhyme in poetry
is like a blank thought
makes you feel you’ve been bought
the rhyme in poetry
is like a ****?l of emptiness
you jump in and get a ***?nse of dryness
the rhyme in poetry
is like a bad answer
it gets inside you just like a cancer
the rhyme in poetry
is just a big waste of ***?me
its just long ***?nseless rhyme
the rhyme in poetry

Well, actually, some ***?ople still use rhyme, and it’s accepted and occassionally published, so you needn’t worry about it greatly.
But modern American poetry has moved into realms where rhyme itself is ***?en ***? childish, or badly ****?ched, and so it is not useful to try and publish it to be taken ***?riously in many poetic circles.
However, your voice ***? a poet is your own, and what tropes, schemes, and images you wield must contribute to your unique vision. By all means rhyme, if rhyme is what you need to flay the muse away.

Many poets feel that by twisting their words into rhyme schemes they’re giving up an important part of their creativity. Rhymes can sounds forced and cheesy, especially when they force the writer to change word order in a way they normally wouldn’t. So if you had a poem that was written using more modern language you wouldn’t ****?t to write “Up in the sky / the kite did fly because it breaks your style, and snaps readers out of the mood you created.
If you enjoy rhyming poetry that’s fine. If you’re ****?d at it, even better! It’s just important to keep in mind that if the rhymes are taking away from the message you’re trying to convey you aren’t bound to use them.
By the way, if you enjoy the challenge of strange rhyme schemes, take a look at the paradelle [ ].
