does rhyming/lyrical poetry lost their charm?with all the freeverse ruling the market today?

All my poetry is in the lyrical format. I feel that it truly expresses more than any other form. Just because you have to widen your vocabulary to find the fitting words to speak your mind, it doesn't mean that it loses its charm. Its only a challenge to see how creative you are....I love poetry in all forms. I just think lyrical is far more creative and stimulating to the senses.

I do not believe lyrical poetry has lost its charm. I personally write a lot of it myself.

Certain publishers of poetry - poetry journals, etc. - and other members of the poetry establishment do frown on poetry that uses a rhyme scheme. However, rhyming within poems - cross rhyming, etc. - is still fine.

Rhyme scheme is really not a criteria for judging a poem today.

Lyricism is still valued, but not as a genre of poetry, that is as "Lyric Poetry". The 'music' within poetry is a very important factor in a poem's impact, however, and publishers do take notice of factors like rhythm and lyracism.

I think a lot of people look down on rhythmic poetry as immature or outdated, but tastes fluctuate fairly rapidly. I think it's a societal phase...

No...... As a matter of fact ryhming poetry is at the heart of the music industry's all time best sellers and will continue to be for a very long time. I can tell you this from a very secure and personal standpoint.

If it has...it is because people have not used the "lyrical charm" in poetry to its' full extent!

Absolutely not! I think as far as poetry goes..anything goes. There are so many different ways to express yourself that rhyming and lyrical poetry will always have a place in this world. Just check out some of my hubs and you will see. : ) Never lose faith in poetry... although one form may be more popular than another one, just look up that other form and you will see there are still tons of people who write that way.

It will never lose its charm regardless of its status within the market. It will stay alive in some way, continue to breathe somehow.

poetry has always presented itself in a variety of formats, and as long as it makes sense, i guess anything goes
