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 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).
