Question: What is a poem that has no rhyme called!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Wow, I'm surprised by the answers you got for this question!. There are a lot of poems that don't rhyme that would not be considered prose-poems or free-verse!. Think Haiku, Narrative Poetry, Found Poetry, Epic Poetry, Hazel, Sestina, Prose, concrete !.!.!. Undoubtedly there are hundreds or thousands of poetry forms that don't require Rhyme that would not be considered Free Verse!. I wouldn't call The Waste Land free-verse!. I wouldn't call the Iliad and Odyssey free-verse either; they are not free-verse poems nor are they prose poems!. Poems that don't rhyme are still poems!. So just call them poems (ad least that's what I do) unless you know the specific form or structure they are in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A free verse is a modern genre of literary poetry which allows the free flowing of the purest thought of a poet!. It is an absolute exercise of poetic license and poetic diction for a symmetric and harmonious expressions of one's feels to things!. To achieve this, the free verse - no rhyme, no metric scale and no conventional divisions of lines has been commonly used by best poets!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No form, no meter is free verse!.
Metered but not rhymed is called blank verse!.

I think,
Therefore I am!.
You think,
Therefore you are!.
= free verse

Same wording in iambic meter;
I think therefore I am,
You think, therefore you are!.
= blank verse!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a free verse writing!.!.!.just write whatever your heart's desire!.

here's some example:

Sunset spilled on the rug, stained
the fabric, can't get it out
of my brain!. It's lava, hrdening
to darkness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
