Among all you emotional NEETs with nothing to do all day, there must be some poets.
What do you write about? Do you write thoughtful verses or disgusting un-rhymed abstract shit? Do you ever put it to music?

I write lyric poems.
If I still had the will,
would I write,
but no thrill
comes anymore
from living the dark day.
That's all the effort I'll put into it. Poetry's the fucking bomb, and I'm not the worst at it, but I just can't pass the barrier of effort to try.
In a recent poetry thread, my definition of success was maintaining metre and avoiding etymologically related rhymes ('might'/'sight'). I succeeded, but only at that.

Also, I hate people like >>24745810 who think poetry can not rhyme. You're just appropriating the term to refer to your lazy efforts. I hate people who appropriate terms.

Not saying rhyming is bad, but i think it restricts language.
>>24745896
>i think it restricts language
Ever crossed your mind that that's the point? There must be *some* discriminators of poetry for the term to have any meaning. You can't create a term for an elevated form of expression, then proceed to strip it of all that made it such, and pretend it's still elevated.

why would you want to restrict language?
I've lost the fight
to wack down the man
on robot's chan;
I've called a night
to effort beyond base,
put some shit on paper
and call it a case,
Holmes, your taper
looks fatter than once
it was, you're sliding
down the trail of dunce
hat wearing, hiding
robots with naught
but nooses taut,
expecting a record
breaker, but checkered
are no flags
that wait for such hags.

Again, because poetry that has no restrictions at all is just regular language. Take any other rhyme-less, metre-less, non-alliterating poem. Remove the versification. You get just a regular sentence. If you want to just make regular sentences, fine, just, again, don't pretend that doing a full 360 makes you a visionary. The ability lies in the challenge.

Creativity comes from constraint... and working within constraints such as meter, rhythm and rhyming verse are the point of poetry.
If you have no restrictions then this post could be a poem. But then the term 'poem' becomes meaningless. Its now just a pretentious term for shitposting.

nigger fuck you

Not poetry, sorry.

People create their best original works when working within some type of boundaries. This is true across any medium
Also, rhyming forces you to use more diverse sentence structure and vocabulary, instead of just saying what you want to say in the blunt terms the thought that came into your head was worded in
Non-rhyming poems are written by poets and for an audience who have disappeared up their own asses.
Also they expose kids to poetry in English class, which is one of the best ways to murder any genuine interest one might have had in the subject.

Its a skill like any other.

Tautologies are not wisdom.
Nor is immaterialism, blinding one's listeners to the idea of nature vs nurture.
In fact, that's not stupidity, that's harmfulness. That man was harmful.

genuine poet here, with book to his name
your full of shit
poem without rhymes can have as masterfully crafted rhythm as poem with rhymes
reason why rhyme was abandoned in contemporary poetry like 100 years ago was exhaustion of rhyme - it was fuckin done for 1000 years
also that your was planned, so you will have a chance to shitpost against what I wrote
cheers fags :^)
>>24744091
I write thoughtfully and most often in rhyme. I do write songs sometimes. I write about whatever feels relevant to the story I'm trying to tell. Sometimes it's metaphorical and sometimes it's a thought I need to quell.

Wanna share some? What genre?

non-rhyming poetry is good on both the entry and exit-level, whereas you have to strictly be a wordsmith in order to make rhyming poetry not seem hokey
most rhymes are 1000% shit

Alright, let's stop composing music that uses the minor pentatonic scale, they've been using that for 1000 fuckin years
