Rythm and Rhyme

Where have all the poets gone, give up rhyming every one, rhythm joined with rhyme well done was once the way that classics run. Alas, now no one reads the verse of rhyming poets, and what worse as they die off no more will come to keep alive our wordsmith fun. Is it now that minds depart from seeing beauty in this art or maybe none can see the need to weave a web with literary seed. If pen on paper flows with ink then wouldn't I be right to think that words, as well, should flow along and fall on ears as poet's song. Where have all the poets gone that write, when all is said and done, their words to gently roll and run to give their readers much more fun. Ivor G Davies

I concur, I agree. Also, where is form and pattern that provide the challenge we so love. So long as people of like-mind exist who seek rhyme, it will endure the passing of time ... CayCay

Hi, Ivor, Those poets are still here. At least I'm one of them and enjoy the poems of many others that rhyme. But I like all kinds, rhyme or not. Style is important and of course the content. I liked your poem.

Darlene, thanks for reading, content and ease of reading to me is everything. I enjoy any style of poetry that is interesting, thought provoking, funny or bears a good message as long as it is easy to read.

Rap, is amazing and truly rolls from the mind the way poetry should. Though it tends to show the emotions of the generation I feel that with age these poets may rapidly become favorites of many people.

your words certainly do gently roll and run. I agree with your sentiment...most of the time...sometimes i can see the need to make the ride less gentle (and not rhyming)...well written...cheers H
