Does Poetry Have To Rhyme?

ON NORTH STAND CHAT
Posters gather,
On the open pages of North Stand Chat.
Like fans on sparse terraces,
They stand in their own corners of cyberspace.
Calling out to each other through streams of bytes,
"What he said", "Fixtures", "Ringtones",
On-line six-stone hooligans,
Their threats and emotions blunted down to smilies,
Vie with each other to impress the lurkers.
But to the uniitiated the squealling cries of lonely individuals,
Sound as meaningless as the mewling seagulls they use for inspiration.
I click the mouse and leave hoping that this thread,
Will sink towards relegation and page 44.

Brovian wrote a thoughtful verse
So this I say with tact
That poetry should always rhyme
And this, my friend, is FACT

No way
should poetry have to
rhyme
if it did
I would never have got
my one and only English 'A'
in year ten(or was in nine?)
for writing some sentences
Five minutes
before the lesson began
And
randomly splitting them up
to make
them look like verse.
Just like i'm doing now.
And yes, Easy,
I know this is shit
but that 'A' added to my year ten
(or was it year nine?)
self-esteem
and who knows where i'd be now without
that teenage self-respect.
Possibly a palace fan.

Good points well made GNLF
A Joker you did play
You pulled a cunning ruse at school
And so deserved your 'A'

But is this just a ruse you ask
Does he really give a stuff ?

You should have Tim's Bolan wig!
A dead rat number - height of fashion
Doing that dirty dance on stage
Drove German punk girls wild with passion....
With many a pout he made his Marc
And won their hearts, Berlin to Bonn
He left the band - the madels fret!
For Brovian and his wig are gone.....

that's my point. that anyone can 'spit' some shit out in verse and it somehow seems more evocative becasue of it. though 'poetry' (whatever that is) doesn't have to rhyme, truly great poetry must.

of course it has to rhyme
and be pronounced in a beat which is on time
i hate these folk who says im wrong
bacause there poems are boring and long
the greatest poem is the ning nang nong
which contradicts myself as it is rather long
but in this case my argument is on song
as the poetry rhymes and is really fun(prenounced fong)

it makes me laugh and smile
but there are times
when i read rhymes
that makes me throw up bile.

OKAY this might prove interesting. Would you consider this poetry, and if so why..

Sad, slow
The immovable object beckons...
Go towards it, the steady archer lifts his heavy burden.
Poetry is more than prose
More than the scribbled scrawling of an disheartening foe,
Break up the sentence,
Break up the ship,
Break up the world and from its center drink
A life of peace, the thorn on a rose,
Poetry is more than prose.

That seems poetic too me.. you could sum up what you are trying to tell us in one sentence yet you've made it all flowery with the use of the english language.. it's a poem of sorts

Local boy Robert Frost used to say that writing free verse was like playing tennis with the net down -- hell of a lot of fun, but ultimately didn't prove anything.
