I was just doing a little googling and researching more about poetry about rhyming. I found this interesting little article that explains perfectly why you don’t always need to rhyme.
10 Reasons Poems Don’t Always Need to Rhyme…
I forgot about the poet, Ezra Pound. He was another poet who never believed in rhyming.
When I write these new songs I’m planning to do, the lyrics are going to be very poetic. In order to make my lyrics poetic, I’m not gonna make ’em rhyme at all. I’m planning on writing the lyrics just like a poem. Gonna try to, anyway.
I started writing my own poetry ’cause I might turn some of them into lyrics.
I’m hoping my songs will get the respect they deserve with this new direction. Writing folk songs and slow ballads in poetry form, that’s my idea. I’m also planning to record a few spoken word tracks and acapella stuff. The acapella stuff, I’m planning to do is just so that I can show I am pretty confident with my singing. I got something to prove with the next release.
