You can write poetry that doesn't rhyme. Not that it'll be any better, but rhyming is clearly not your forte.

Gee, thanks. You know, I can't believe how much I'm gonna learn from that statement. Who'd have thought?

Oh, that's right, I thought that. Well, I guess I've already learned it then. But hey, thanks a bunch for the criticism! Keep it coming!

EDIT: Well, would you look at that? 1000 posts.

I'm merely pointing out that maybe it wouldn't suck as much if you didn't try to rhyme. I saw that you acknowledged your rhymes were bad, but you didn't say shittiness was your goal, so I figured I'd suggest that. Also I hate poetry, especially yours.

Cool, I hate my poetry too.

Actually, I was really more pissed off at the fact that I was forced to write poetry for an english assignment, they always force you to rhyme in these assignments and it has to be cheesy, or else they don't accept it. I remember this one time in my 10th grade english class we did an entire unit on poetic practices, and of course we were all made to write not one, but five poems. And they were the crappy kind, too, like Diamantes and Acrostic poems, or Quadrains and Couplets.

That's the problem with poetry, it can't be forced but a lot of people force themselves to write it anyway, especially in english classes. Still, I'm sorry for saying that, in hindsight I was being very rash in my statements.

Ah. Yes. Once I had to write an "epic poem" in iambic pentameter. Five stressed syllables a line, and I don't remember what the rhyme scheme was, but it was a pain in the ass. There is some poetry which uses the medium to good effect, but I think most of it is just rhyming/line breaking for the sake of being called "poetry," and having an excuse to use sentence fragments. Hate.

Ummm...yeah, thanks for the Kudos. I didnt think it was all that bad. I liked it, I like silly poems, like the one I wrote called "Ode to Air." It is in my poem thread down the list if ya havent read it.
