31. Sorry, but I don't do poetry really well. Actually, I don't even talk very much at all. This post is probably the most talking/posting I've done in quite a while.

Kals is questing again!32. I really must say that rhyming prose does not a poem make. It's all about the imagery and the emotional impact evoked therein. Aretoo, please rest assured that no offense was intended.
Check sig for details!

33. I'd have to disagree. You can make a poem with rhyming but it might not be that good of a poem. The ones I make are all about underlying meanings driving me insane.

34. Poetry is as subjective as art is. You can't really say that one this is art and one thing isn't. Whether it's good or not is what you can argue about all you want.

35. It truly is hard to say whether art is good or not. It's like when I see people draw and I think they're good and they disagree. Not that I know much about art

Kals is questing again!36. I didn't say that poetry has to not rhyme. But a few rhyming lines aren't necessarily something that one could honestly classify as poetry; There's a reason we call them "nursery rhymes" instead of "nursery poems". Check sig for details!

37. I find the direction of this conversation entertaining. I wonder, however, how long this thought will last in the masses. In my experiences I've found it true that people are easily distracted, confused, swayed, and generally silly.

38. Distracted? Speaking of being distracted, I mean yes umm poetry.
Rhyming and poetry? I agree that neither requires the other.
Personally I prefer a good pun. especially if it's in poetry. They always make me giggle to myself.

39. To be honest, I am not that big of a poetry fan. I'm not saying they're awful and I can see why other people like them but they just don't appeal to me that well. Mysteries' what I like

40. Much like Sir Hamlet here, I'm not too big on poetic stuffs. I personally think they're a bit overrated and I've never really enjoyed having to write them in English classes...However, I do enjoy a well-written story or two ^.^

41. I must have picked a bad time because at first I had no idea what you were going on about. Honestly, I am not a literature person. Having to sit there and listen to someone recite poetry would make me crazy.

42. Then you should be glad you wern't in my English class last year. It wasn't exactly poetry but we ended up reading through the whole of Shakespeare's Julius Caeser (not in one lesson of course) I was half asleep throughout the lessons!

Kals is questing again!43. I am pretty sure that every English class at the high school level involves at least one of Shakespeare's plays. Romeo and Juliette was on the menu for grade 10, then the Scottish play in grade 11, followed by Hamlet in grade 12. Check sig for details!

44. I know how we're always doing Shakespeare in school, but there has to be better ways to do something like that. Anyway, I've just started year 10 and according to my teacher, we're going to be doing Macbeth, and also Of Mice And Men

45. I might be a bit late, but the refference to "Poem recited AT" reminds me of Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy". What were those aliens NAMES? "The Worse poetry ever written was done by Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings
and was thankfully destroyed with the Earth."
