I've noticed in recent times

Poetry doesn't rhyme

And even when it can

It doesn't scan

It's shit, it's true

I blame haiku

Poetry doesn't need to rhyme. Rhyming is a mnemonic device, so a poem can be memorized and performed.

There are many other devices.

Also, nice poem. Did you write it or chatGPT?

I never thought I'd see the day

When someone writes a poem

The first thing that we say to them

Is "Did you use an LLM?" :(

If a poem neither rhymes nor scans,

Sorry for my spite

It's no longer poetry

It's someone talking shite

Rhyming is a mnemonic device

Rhyming has other purposes: creation of additional sonic rhythm and restricting of words usage - for making matter more distinct and interesting (as rules do for any game).
