Why are some people against rhyming in poetry?

[LiviaAnn]

I've heard that rhyming in poetry is kind of dead, I guess, and people like to read more free verse now. Is this true? I always write in rhyme. It's just more comfortable to me. And having to twist words around so they fit in a rhyme better is just fun to me, and gets me thinking more creatively.

 

[Duncan w ™ ®]

It is no crime to rhyme
those who say its so
really cannot know.

 

[greenwood]

the rhyme in poetry
is like a blank thought
makes you feel you've been bought
the rhyme in poetry
is like a pool of emptiness
you jump in and get a sense of dryness
the rhyme in poetry
is like a bad answer
it gets inside you just like a cancer
the rhyme in poetry
is just a big waste of time
its just long senseless rhyme
