Rhythm and Rhyme Workshop

I think a train of thought can be rhythmic itself, so we shouldn't over exert on rhyming as it loses the true essence of a poem... Having said that many masters have crafted such masterpiece poems that have everything what is required technically and nothing is lost…

I am not a master just a learner… so if any one would please read few of my poems and guide me to get better in this learning process…

Regards,

Do you think rhymes are important in a poem? I think they are, but sometimes they are not too easy to find the right words, so I think to keep a poem nature is important too. Our original ideas might be destroyed if fill in some meaningless words.

Normally I write traditional verse following established rules but I invite you to read and rate my experimental poem The Bugs of Nature's Economic Picture and I thank you for taking the time to comment.

Hi, I am new to PoemHunter. I am pretty much a beginner. I have written 4 poems. I would appreciate some constructive criticism especially on 'The Forbidden Well'. Thanks

I thought I'd try something a little different to my usual stuff, so I'm putting in some narrative poems to see how they go. Hope you like them.

Hello everyone!
I've just started Poem Hunter today, from a recommendation from my friend, and I've recently just written in 2 poems. I am looking to improve my ideas and writings, and I am free to any critisism. Please look over my profile and poems and see for yourself what I need to correct! .... please?

Relating how to write a correct sonnet at nowadays. Who can tell this exactly what should be followed or in what forms must be used? There are many forms have been talked in the past. I know it consists totally 14 lines A(4,4,4,2): B(4,4,2,2,2) or C(8,6) and rhymes mostly uses B type abba abba + cd, cd, cd (=14 lines) . But, there are really many styles were used in the past centuries. It nearly no fixed regulation at all. The B style is more popular until now.
I want to hear your opinion....

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd say that I never read many poems until my granddaughter who is 10 needs to read poetry as an assignment in school and that's how I came to the Poemhunter site to try and help her. I have never written any poems in my life but found it to be very satisfying to actually write a few, now I feel like emersing myself in words. I always thought that poetry had to rhyme but after reading several from other poets I find that freeform is very intense. But I hope you enjoy mine as I continue to evolve. Thanks. Ron
