Rhyming is not everything.

 Rhyming is not everything.

When most people think of poetry, they probably picture elaborate rhyme patterns that poets use to organize their work. Whether contemporary poets, who are often prone to tossing old rhyme schemes away, like it or not, poetry is related to rhyme. Why do some poets choose to rhyme their poetry while others do not? We'll cover everything from why rhymes are important to sorts of rhymes, how to choose one, and why poets occasionally choose to employ unrhymed lines in their poetry in this post.

Poems have a rhythm in general, but they don't necessarily rhyme. This is because rhyme is not the most significant aspect of a poem. A poem should instead convey (express) a feeling or an image that we can feel or see (or touch or hear or taste). Poems are frequently misunderstood as having to rhyme. True, if you want something to stick in people's heads or sound good, read-aloud rhymes can help. However, they aren't required. Even if a lot of current poetry does not rhyme, it nevertheless works.
It's fun to read lines that rhyme. They give a poem a musical character that harkens back to the art form's origins as songs have been spoken aloud to commemorate important occasions or chronicle historical events. Rhyme has been utilized to portray every tone from joy to agony, and every attitude from contempt to indulgence, over centuries of lyrical literature. The reader learns more about the poet from the poem's rhyme than from the poem itself. Rhyme schemes are no longer as popular as they once were. Unless they're written for youngsters, most contemporary poetry doesn't follow a rhyme pattern. However, this is not ubiquitous, and it does not imply that writers have abandoned rhyming altogether.

An interesting part is that what poetry ressembles is most likely the main reason of a poet to wrote it. Study and knowledge of words is easy these days as one can have that by acknowledging our books, but a poetry is more than just a random sentences and words. If as an author of this article if i try to write a poetry it can be like - 

My wounds are healing but leaving scar,
Spending all night, in a public bar....
Walking downstreet with an empty heart,
Baby just call be once am not so far...

I walked alone in a darkest night,
Hyped myself for a worthy fight...
Punching wall feels bore to me,
Unworthy to love, as i fall on knee..

Your touch feels same but heart's not mine,
I tried my best but u still decline..
U gave up easily so i am not so sure,
My soul was worthy and heart was pure..

You spoiled me in a way, that even i cant keep up
Your eyes says same, but ego hit u much...
Interesting facts in an intereseting way, 
You moved on and am just spending days...

Let's look at some of the various reasons why poets don't rhyme their poems. Rhyme, more than anything else, gives poems a logical framework. However, a poet may need to deviate from a form to convey a specific idea or emotion. When a poet's speaker wishes to express a strong, unfettered feeling, rhyme can get in the way. Another reason is that a lack of rhyme inside lines allows a writer to represent normal speaking patterns, as discussed previously. Characters, particularly in narrative poetry, become more sincere and believable as a result of this.

Poets face additional challenges as a result of the structure of rhyme schemes and metrical patterns. When writers are striving to follow a pattern, they frequently have to use different words than they would otherwise. This can detract from a text's intended meaning and diminish the effect of the imagery and symbols the poet has created.

Study says what poet thinks they right. The choices of words they make to write is the real thing. Rhymes in their poetry has been utilized to portray every tone from joy to agony, happiness to sorrow, and every attitude from contempt to indulgence, over centuries of lyrical literature. Yes things take time to happen and poets knows better than any other person about how to invest that time in those words which can make the readers realize about why and how much the writer of this poetry is broken. Rhyme, more than anything else, gives poems a logical framework. However, a poet may need to deviate from a form to convey a specific idea or emotion. When a poet's speaker wishes to express a strong, unfettered feeling, rhyme can get in the way. However, their is not a fixed pattern, as RHYMING IS NOT EVERYTHING in poetry so this is not ubiquitous, and it does not imply that writers have abandoned rhyming altogether.

Slam Poetry

A poetry slam is an art competition where poets perform spoken word poetry in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. At a poetry slam, poets compete as individuals or in teams, and their performances are judged as much on excitement and style as on content. The judging is normally done by a panel of five judges, who are usually chosen from the audience. The response of the audience can sometimes be used to judge the poets. Members of the crowd are picked by an emcee or host to serve as judges in a poetry slam. There are five judges at the national slam, although regional slams usually have three. Following each poet's performance, each judge assigns a score to each poem. The scores usually range from zero to ten. The top and lowest scores are removed, leaving each performance with a score between 0 and 30. The host will frequently introduce a "sacrificial" poet before the competition begins, whom the judges will grade to calibrate their judging. At a typical slam...
