aish said in another thread...and i quoteth her "Fuck's sake. I don't even like rhyme "
from what i see, rhyme seems to take a back to non rhyming poetry as far as decent quality poetry is concerned, in general much of the stuff I've read from the last two or decades has been blank verse, or almost blank verse along with a fair bit of free verse. while i have read a lot of rhymed stuff, it's the former two that seem prevalent. is there a reason why we moved away to far from verse as to make seem foppish or old-hat.
it could just be, i'm not as well read as i should be but it's what i see.
