rhyming

some other poets like poems that rhymes like me , I like poems that sangs itself yeah but although you have a point the concept of poetry is the feelings that you feel in the poem you read or make, we poets have different sights in rhyming but for me a poem with a good rhyme and a deep meaning is truly a great poem.
but still it is on our own beliefs We poets resfect everyone decissions...

Rhyming, while keeping the emotion at the fore is tough poetry, I'd say. It's easy to slip into a cliche and lose some of the energy for the sake of an easy rhyme. But at the same time it can be far too easy to just scribble out a bunch of feelings and call it a poem.

I like rhyming, because it adds a rhythm and it makes the poem a bit more complex and challenging.

I got a comment on one of my poems today saying "How come it doesnt rhymn?! "

That was the whole comment (can I report a comment like that and get it deleted?).

So from that I'm guessing this girl assumes that it's not a poem unless it rhymes (or 'rhymn'?).
And then they'll be people that just simply can't get a rhythm or even a simple structure going without rhyme.
I don't necessarily think rhyme makes a poem good though. In fact, I've seen poems fail because a rhyme has been forced when it's just not been needed.

i dont like the way people go for an easy rhyme when it spoils the whole context but...
the point of a rhyming poem it that it tells a story while the words fit perfectly they are not forced theyare just perfect together if your trying to write a rhyming bit of poetry it best to go for uncommon words rather than words like....cry,lie,die,eye,sigh and so forth
