The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A rhyme doesn't make a song.
Poetry must be made by all and not by one.
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.
It should here be added that poetry habitually takes the form of verse.
Lyrics have to be underwritten. That's why poets generally make poor lyric writers because the language is too rich. You get drowned in it.
I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
Poetry is like making a joke. If you get one word wrong at the end of a joke, you've lost the whole thing.
Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production.
There's something so wonderful about writing in rhyme where it isn't just the meaning of the words, it's the music to the words and the shape and the sound.
