I’ve seen some rhymes, but meter is completely ignored.
Personally, I prefer Yards, feet and inches to meters.
BUT I learned decades ago to write in Iambic Pentameter
CTL, will you share some of your poetry with us?
I write poetry, as a kid I did not know free verse existed till about 8th grade. I used to love haiku’s, couplets, and some other names I can’t remember.
I also like writing the one that can go up to down and down to up (Don’t know the name), a lot of my poetry are also songs so they definitely rhyme!
In any case, why would you make such a generalization? Where do you even view frum poetry?!
In addition to free verse(which is by far my favorite form of poetry due to it’s lack of rules and the ability of the poet to create their own structure) I’ve written haikus, sonnets, terza rima, and skeltonic poems
@DovidBT
My poetry has been written to/for my wife and daughters. I’d not feel comfortable posting them publicly“Where do you even view frum poetry?!”
The siddur is full of poetry. And the Book of Psalms. And the Tisha B’Av Kinnos.
shopping- I know of a few people who post their poetry on blogs and there is also an online journal called the Jewish Literary Journal that publishes Jewish themed pieces.
A poem for RebYidd twenty-three
Written by a frum Jew like me
Who as a fun gimmick
Made it a limerick
And not free verse I hope you see!
