    FireBlast, you have the right to dislike poems, but don't insult people who do like them.

    1. Yes, I do (not all poems, but in general I do like them).
    2. Not necessarily. A well-written poem with good content will be good whether it rhymes or not.

    1. Do you like poems? Yes.
    2. Do you think a good poem has to rhyme? No. Rhyming, in some cases, ruins the poem. The problem is knowing when to and when not to use rhyme.

    1. No. I hate writing them, and I hate analyzing them in English class.
    2. I dunno, I don't like analyzing poetry.

    1. Yeah, I like poems, but only when they're very well done.
    2. I personally prefer a poems with a rhyme scheme of some sort, but it doesn't have to have one to be great.

    1. General Poetry, no. Shel Silverstein or Jack Prelutsky poetry, sure. However, a while ago there was a "make up a song about someone you hate" fad going around in school. The ones about me were quite funny. I love writing acrostics dedicated to certain people for fun, as some of you may know...
    I hate analyzing poetry, though.

    2. Not really. Acrostics are always fun to write, and almost never rhyme unless the writer has waaaaay too much time on their hands.

    1. Do you like poems?

    It depends on what it's about, how it's written, and of course, how well it is written. But in general, I really like T.S. Elliot's cat poems, some of J.R.R. Tolkien's poems, and James Thurber's Golux poems.

    2. Do you think a good poem has to rhyme?

    The ones that rhyme are funner to read, but if it's well structured with a strong beat, and of course, well written, it can be just as good or better. Rhyming to me, is just like the icing on a cake --- tasty, but not really nessesary.

    1. Yes. Not obsessed, but poetry is okay regardless of what people say. Not exactly all poetry, though.

    2. No. Emotion is what it should have for it to be considered good. Depth is a factor that matters, too.

    1. Yes, I like poetry, and sometimes I write them, but usually mine suck.
    2. No, it just has to be powerful and it has to have a message hidden inside.

    Roses are red, cabbages are green, my face is funny, but yours is a scream.


    okee...

    1. I enjoy them as long as I don't have to write one. Seriously, last week I had to write a poem, it was the corniest thing ever...

    2. Not necessarily...sometimes poems that have all rhyming words can be corney...it just depends I guess.

    1. Yeah, poems are cool.
    2. Definitely not. Of course rhyming can really be cool a lot of the time, but I've read many free verse poems that have been just as good or better than rhyming poems I've read.

    We are half-hearted creatures,
    Fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us,

    Like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum
    Because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.

    We are far too easily pleased.
