Do you like rhyming poetry?

I like to read rhyming poetry and think it is really good to read. It is something that is always available and it is always interesting. I think you are right though in that it is not as popular as it once was. I dont see it around quite as much as it used to be.

Hehehe, I thought it was just me who felt this way anymore. Personally, I like the rhymed verse better than this new stuff they're doing. I don't know why, but I don't care for the new haiku type poetry. To me, it doesn't seem like it's poetic without the rhyme behind it. I've tried reading haiku stuff, and it just bores me to tears (well, most of them anyways.) Haiku, and poetry that doesn't have a rhyme scheme, just seems more like a conversation, or prose. I have a lot of poetry that I've written throughout the years, and I still favor rhyming verse to give it that flow.

I don't like poetry :P I don't have anything against it, it's just not something I'm fond of reading. I prefer reading novels - I guess it's because I find poems hard to read. However, I do prefer rhyming poems over free verse. Most of the free verses I encounter today sound like paragraphs cut into fragments. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

It really depends on what the poem is trying to say. I kind of prefer rhyming poetry because I feel it flows better than free-verse.

All my poetry since I was younger rhymed. It just came out that way..haha.. i think it sounds better and makes more sense. Other then that the ones that dont rhyme just sounds like a letter or whatever. Not quite a poem:)

Also I love Edgar Allen Poe & also King David was a poet in his own right. Just read Psalms, "Though I walk through the valley of dark shadow thou art always with me." King David was the greatest poet ever lived.
