Hi /lit/
First of all , English is not my mother tongue and i have a question about poetry
i know it is a stupid question but is it necessary to use a fixed metric system in poet ?
sorry for my bad english
No.
It's not necessary, take a look at shit like Ginsberg

Shortest answer: No.
Short answer: Not anymore.
Longer answer: No, but no great poetry is truly 'meterless' either in a very loose sense.
>>7585936
No, it is not.
There are a lot of English-language poems that do not use metre.
For example, Marianne Moore made a poem called "Poetry".

It is not consistent.
Many people associate poetry with the use of metre, though.
I hope that helps!

No, but poet that does not use any metric is shit 87% of the time.
Hope that helps!
