Should Rhyming Poets Be Castrated?

[cacian]

I piss off people when I write
And let my drivel show.
I like to tick 'em off and might
Decide to drop some more tonight
And cover them in rhymes to 'white'
Like streets in cozy snow.

Haha this tickled me here is my take I wish it dubbious read.

i write to avoid
and those who do
annoy
let them shine the troy
he'll come off horse's
clops
and begins to sprout
toss
will see if he will
poss
the land of
literature lords

and then this :

he did not reach the dine
he'd realised the fine
he'd bought a watch
and can
never tell the time.

Freedom is a beautiful thing. I write both in rhyme and non-rhyme and make no apologies. I embrace my freedom to do whatever I feel like doing whenever I want. I read both, appreciate both, enjoy both. Sure, there are times when abuse of rhyming leads to groaning but there is equally abuse in non-rhyming that leads to groaning.

I'm new at writing poetry and recently tried my hand at writing a ballad in iambic pentameter with rhyming. I now have a new appreciation for how difficult it is to do this without it sounding sing-songy, trite, forced, archaic, childish, sappy....there's an art to it and it's not easy, but history has shown it can be mastered. I'm a novice. I hope I never become so advanced as to set parameters for other's creativity. That's when I'll stop learning.
