Quote from Spazz

Don't forget that they lack some any sort of rhythmic meter. They'll put, like, 20 words in the next line in order to get it to rhyme with the last one. For example:

"my life is filed with dread
theres no use living i mite as well end it rite here im going to bo buy a gun and put a bulet in my head"

Poetry isn't about rhythm.

Poetry isn't about rhythm.

If the poetry has no Rythm then it basically sucks horse cock.

Not to mention the ideas that are presented in bad teenage poetry.

Quote from tiddlywinks

Rose was a merry girl
one of natures flawless pearls,
who, one fateful day,
played ball near the motorway.

She kicked it high,
she threw it far.
Too far indeed,
she hit a car.

Mr Jones, in quite a rush,
was reduced to human slush,
After meeting head-on the ball,
he met, doing ninety, head on the wall.

Had Rose been,
not only three
she'd face murder, first degree
and spend her days in misery.

The moral of the story is,
don't give balls to little kids.

by yours truly, hrhr.

That's awesome.

Like the Oddyssey and stuffs.

Oh, I couldn't read what you said. I get it now, but there have been lots of good poems that weren't epic, nor did they rhyme.

I believe we were talking about Rythm.

The problem is if a poems rythm is disgustingly off the flow of ideas is just ruined.

Bleh.

Meh .

A. You concede defeat?
B. You are confused.
C. You tire of talking to my inferior/superior intellect.

<_<

I disagree, but I'm to lazy to make a good argument back.
I concede defeat I guess. lol.

Quote from Jeremy

Poetry isn't about rhythm.

It is if it's a rhyming poem. And that's the kind of poem I was discussing which you could also see from my example from the fact that I was referencing towards the run-of-the-mill poetry made by people on this site.

There are poems that don't rhyme, but for the ones that do, the cleverness comes out of the fact that the poem is strung together in a rhythmic fashion. And I don't mean "rap-rhythmic" I just mean that they have it in a way that the second line doesn't add, like, 20 more words than the first line just to make it rhyme.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Eating some Lindor truffles or lapsing into an out-of-body state?

If I had to choose, it would be the truffles. But I cant honestly claim either.

Then buy some truffles. They're a dream.
