I studied English Literature. I read all the BS poems that didnt ryhme. They were essentially prose.
Its only "new" poems that don't rhyme. Look at all the 19th and 19th centuary poems. They all ryhmed. All of them. Because the law of poetry is that it rhymes.
All the new poems from people like Carol Anne Duffy are terrible... because they don't rhyme.
Bad poetry is still poetry.
No. Bad poetry isn't poetry... because bad poetry doesn't rhyme and thus ISNT poetry.

@Omegus.
Pronounced ev-er-y-one, correctly, not ev'ryone. You'll find the right number of syllables then. Unless of course you are calling me out on the improper application of three independant, subtle closed statements, each evoking a different yet related emotional state or meditation. 'Cause I'll plead guilty to that.
Oh, and the plural of haiku is haiku.

There was a lumberjack named E.T.,
Who owned a chaos demon army,
His force was lethal,
His breath was more so,
On account of all those cups of tea.
I created this for a friend of mine; His actual name is Etienne, but I've called him E.T. since kindergarten. He's a facially hairy bastard, everyone calls him a lumberjack as a result.
