How to write a poem without it rhyming too much?
I know poems are supposed to rhyme but it seems that when i write poems they seem tacky and too rhymy. But i know im a good writer because i can just flow words out when im writing things other than poems. I want to write poems cuz i know they are a way of expressing emotions and i need to do that at this point in my life. Please let me know how to write a poem correctly without it being tacky or rhyming too much. Thanks!

FOG
Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)

“The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.”

    You can write a free verse poem. It doesn’t have to rhyme and doesn’t have to have a particular rhyme scheme or meter. Hope this helps :)

    Then flow with it. That’s where you start. You don’t have to be conscious of your words as it springs out of you. I suggest that you look at the other side of things, liberate yourself from the usual meter and rhyme by using adjectives or adverbs. Use figures of speech and experiment. You might also want to change the composition of letters or the order of words.
    Avant Garde :) I’m sure you can do it!
