good is good and bad is shit. i try to do rhyme though i'm not very good at it. i think it helps teach the poet to work within confines of many forms...the sonnet being but one. bad non rhyming verse i find easier to do as there's less restrictions. many of my fave poems are rhymed and many are not. both work and fail depending on the skill of the poet. it's called poetry, not sonnet or free verse; it's a collection of all forms. as for funny poetry; i prefer funny to depp most days of the week. i prefer to laugh than frown. i'm a smut merchant that thinks all poetry is as easy or hard as a poet is skilled or unskilled. admittedly some write better in one style or another but in general a good poet will be a good poet. they may not be a good humourist though.
