I once read some modernist poet asshole (think T. S. Eliot and his ilk) denigrate formal poetry because the vast majority of rhymes have all been used before.
Excellent. I write for the ordinary people in the hope that I will attarct readers. No comp judges. No modern poets. Rhyme, meter, etc tend to enhance brevity and readability.
Poetic perfection can be found in the likes of Edwin Robinson and his Eros Turannos. I am a great Emily Dickinson fan
