What even is good poetry?
-
Does it have to rhyme?
Each line in perfect time,
Sometimes forced,
Sometimes sublime.
-
Does it have to be visual,
like
a
work
of
art?
Does it have to end, the way it did start?
-
Should rhyming be consistent?
Nothing good rhymes with consistent.
-
Truly, I think there are absolutely no rules.
There are no labels, no forms nor structures you should stick to.
Words are just words.
-
Poetry is anything and everything, except from objective.
I'll say that a rhyme here and there though, is pretty effective.

That last rhyme was great.
Anyway I love this and I agree with everything said. Poems are fun to write and yet, annoying. So many unsaid rules but yet there really are none at all and that doesn't make sense but I haven't slept in a long time so pretend that was inspirational or something idk
I don't really have critique except I didn't like the "-" between the stanzas, it felt less free ??? See, I don't really know but that's my two cents
Oh I also really liked the line "does it have to end the way it did start?"
That's all
Its a really nice one and I stick to it. I love your writing format and its really cool, and the fact that you really poetry, even if your points were on the contrary and I love it. Poetry is a piece of art in which the words are chosen for their sounds and the images which they suggest and not just for their obvious meanings. It is a genre of literature that involves writing in lines and verses.
I know you know, that poetry doesn't really should have a nursery rhyme, enjambment, blank Vere, free verse, or meters, but it should be written in a way that shows that it's really a poetry and should make perfect sense all the way.
Most times I read poetry's on YWS and i wonder if its really poetry because they write it like an article or so, though we have narrative and epic poetries, but I think poetry is poetry, and should be arranged in right order, no matter the sense it makes.
Thank you for your work, its really nice.
