Y!Overlords
(by Penfold, Y!God's gift to Y!Chicks)
~~~~~~~
Ode to a slip-slap flabberly slob
Your repugnant putrid bark is foul
Orders reek of carcass topping
Back inside your living cage eating death's muffins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think Penfold has finally written something worthwhile, I can really relate to his hollow existence now...

Contrary to what many people think, poems with no rhymes are not new. There was a controversy at the beginning of the 17th century on this subject, and John Milton wrote Paradise Lost with no rhymes. He even advocates such type of poetry in his short preface (although he did write some sonnets himself, and so, some rhymed poetry). But a poem without rhymes does not mean a poem without a sound pattern.

No it doesn't need to rhyme. Take any really good translation of a poem that rhymed in another language and you'll notice that if the translator can get over forcing a rhyme and focusing on the poem, it's still a poem and it's still beautiful. Look at most of the translations of Federico Garcia Lorca's poems to realize that rhyme is not what drives and forces the words into being a poem.

Poetry does not "have to" rhyme; but there are some styles of poetry that do rhyme. There are many different types and styles of poetry that have different "rules;" however, poetry in general has no real "rules" unless you look up the definition of "poem" or "poetry" on wikipedia--that may say something different! :)

Haiku doesn't rhyme. Blank verse doesn't rhyme. Prose poetry doesn't rhyme. Usually ghazals and sestinas do not rhyme. Besides the obvious free verse, there are lots of other non-rhyming poetry.

free verse and beat poems are two of the styles that do not need to rhyme, beat poems are more popular, but free verse is just about self expression really, sharing opinions..

It does get the job done. I see him there. It leaves me wanting to read the back of a muffin package, though.

no definitely not, but it should have rhythm, form and and structure.
I'm a not a literary critic by any stretch of the imagination, but I know what I like, and rhyme or no rhyme that verse sucks!!!!!! ( In particular the last line is wrong in terms of length and meter)
