Speaking, writing, conversing, etc. without rhythmic structure..

There was a guy in a play whose title and I can't recall, I'm sure you could find if you googled, but he said, "everything not prose is verse, and everything not verse is prose."

So , poetry must have a rhyming nature. a bit like rap.

Not necessarily, though rhyme is a common part of poetry it's not usually a requirement. More specifically, poetry is supposed to sort of have a 'tempo' to it. Essentially, a bit like a song in that it should flow nicely but still follow something similar to a beat. Sometimes you can pick it out when someone is reciting poetry when listening to where they choose to emphasise their words.


Anyone who actually studies English or language studies please correct me if I'm wrong. This is just all from distant memory, and I'm currently majoring in Geographical Information Systems/Mapping and Animal Biology so not exactly someone that's studied it extensively...

So you find animals and tag them with electronic finding devices etc, and study the way they live?

early May heatwave -
in the shadow of my car
a seagull panting

Isn't the first line only supposed to have 3 syllables in a Haiku?

I'm surprised this thread is still here. I'm not gonna let it die just yet

An Ode to Football

This is not a sport.
This is my joy,
My pride and my humility,
My escape from everything.
This is my lifelong friend,
My first love and my first heartbreak,
My partner ‘til death do us part.
This is life.
