why do people think poems have to rhyme or make sense it could make sense to the writer?

Answer 1

Well usually becasue the lack the sense of artistic flow one needs to appreciate great writing.

Answer 2

They certainly don't need to rhyme. Nor make sense to all of its audience...it just needs to have some sort of basis to work off of; some sort of universal idea that can be interpreted perhaps in different ways by a number of people. While it may mean one thing to a reader and entirely another to the poet, there should be some sort of consensual understanding of the central theme revealed in the poem. Interpretation is what makes things interesting!

Answer 3

Poetry is a form of art that shows emotion. There isn't a strict form. The people who do not understand that are not poets. Typically if people do not understand the poem, the writer lacks good writing skills. It may be hard to find a meaning, but it should be seen to someone other than the poet.

Answer 4

There's nothing wrong with rhyme, and there's nothing wrong with free verse. Neither is a guarantee of good poetry.

Writers who don't care about making sense to anybody but themselves should stick to writing private diary entries. If you want to show your work to other readers, you can't pretend that the only response that counts for anything is your own.

Answer 5

hi i never rhyme my poems i think my poems are good and they never rhyme th epeolple who think only good poems rhyme arent very openminded thats what i thinkpoems kinda have to make sense to the reader because otherwise people wont really like it

Answer 6

In psychology, that kind of rationalization is known as solipsism: the world and language exist only in the person's head. The nonchalance about one-way meaning is known in rhetoric, poetics, and philosopy as the fallacy of private language.

One might ask the same questions about prose or babbling to oneself, but no one ever improved as a poet on the basis of self-excuse.

Answer 7

It is good. I am an older person. I remember that day vividly when I read your poem. For some reason, in my head I kept changing the line from The sun was out that day to The sun went out that day.

Answer 8

Why do some people say 'people' when they mean 'some people'?

I think all a poem has to do is draw me a picture of something.

Answer 9

I know how you feel, I love writing in free verse or freestyle or what ever you want to call it. all i know is. if you blind them with profoundness, they forget the fact it doesn't rhyme. i think every one is trying to peg you, even if they don't mean to. everyone likes being in control witch means knowing, or think you know the person.

Answer 10

They have not had much experience in poetry
