Do poems need to rhyme? Yes or no? What are your thoughts on this?
I have this discussion very often, especially when it comes to modern poetry. I'm curious what you're thinking about it! #poetry

or jars and shocks,
or wiggles and giggles,
or simply brings a smile to one's heart and crinkles to the eyes.
Classical long form usually get AB or AABB. Short form rarely.
As a primarily free verse poet I don’t think rhyme is necessary. However, because of the musicality inherent in the ways that we speak, sometimes rhyme happens and makes our poems sing.
I sometimes rhyme in my work. I sometimes use nearly rhymes, and I sometimes use internal rhymes. Sometimes rhyme sounds forced to me and sometimes it’s just right. It’s whatever comes out, I guess.
but it surely must resonate.
I prefer if they do ... but then I am not very good at poetry, so who am I to say anything :P
Also, I didn't have any class or anything, just composing my way.
A question asked in earnest-
Should all poems rhyme?
Can free-verse be dismissed
As lyrically unrefined?
Must the poet be tight-bound
Or else be declared a fraud
If they can only command
Rhymes that are just off?
I like lyrics that resolve in one rhyme either at the end or in the hook.
Depends on whether it's a Tuesday
Or it's Shabbat.
Whether it's daytime
Or it's nighttime.
Whether I just stubbed my toe
Getting out of the bathtub
Or I just witnessed a glorious
Miami sunrise.
My favorite poet (besides ME)? Same answer.
You can have poems that are bind by various rules and that includes rhyming.
You can also have poems that do not follow any such rules.
I guess, there are different types that exist.

Contemporary poets shirked that “baggage” to differentiate their work from music. My thoughts: That was a fundamental misstep dooming poetry to irrelevancy.
Versification *is* the art
a rhythm that feels like home.
Others let their lines flow freely,
unbound by pattern or sound.
A poem moves as it must —
gentle or wild,
soft or sharp.
The only rule
Write the truth as it
rises in you.
And I see there's almost a "rhyme" (using alliteration in that "m" sound) in your poem, in these two words:
Rhyme
Home
Nice use of "parallelism" here:
gentle or wild
soft or sharp
gentle or wild
mild or sharp
gentle or wild
sharp or mild
Never say never, I say!
Words dance, free and unbound,
Meaning takes flight.
I can appreciate both rhyming poetry and free verse, if it is well written and generates some sort of reaction or resonance when I read it.
It's the style, structure, meter, and, of course, vocabulary of the poet and the listener's/reader's reception.

But it's so deliciously tempting sometimes I can't resist. 😆
Following a set of rules doesn't write a a good poem.
best capture my attention.
Free verse does still have rhythm & meter. Indeed it must or it's just a prose paragraph.
Our first poems rhyme bc children's poems do.
My first poems (written a long time ago) all rhymed. Now they don’t. I honestly don’t know why that changed.
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang

" The cat sat on the mat " type of rhyme can sounds bit boring. Thats just me though. Each to their own!
Through the window I see no star
Something more near
Though deeper within darkness
Is entering the loneliness.
Variations of internal rhymes, alliteration and what not 🙂
when i even remotely ... do the r word
with that being said, i belive, bold yet suttle,loud
and loudest,sweet, and painful, something that gives it life, a bright spark
hope, smiles, tears of joy
deep sorrows how much is too much poetry is unconditional no limits
love is
