>>24875470Rhyme and meter are why poetry exists as opposed to prose. It's a remnant of an oral culture and should live in performance. Just the fact that poetry enjoyers today don't read the poems out loud or enjoy them performed makes the whole format absurd.

>>24875391If you say this is not poetry you are objectively wrong, sorry:Life's involv'd and varied pageants,All the forms and shows, all the workmen at their work,All the seamen and the landsmen, all the masters with their slaves, Pioneers! O pioneers! All the hapless silent lovers,All the prisoners in the prisons, all the righteous and the wicked,All the joyous, all the sorrowing, all the living, all the dying, Pioneers! O pioneers! I too with my soul and body,We, a curious trio, picking, wandering on our way,Through these shores, amid the shadows, with the apparitions pressing, Pioneers! O pioneers!
