I took two months of poetry class, a poem doesn't have to rhyme, (though most do, but not w/ end rhyme, they use internal rhyme schemes and such) A poem is merely a form of writing in which the author has control over the line; that is the basis of what poetry is. Imagery, symbolism, and other such stuff are also important parts

Edit: Not bad CK, and not utilizing end rhyming isn't neccesarily a new thing, though free verse is more of a modern development.

I liked it, CK.

Want to hear another oxymoron?

Dignified death.

These dictionaries are worthless, then. ;)

Deafening silence.

Extreme apathy.

Is there an oxymoron thread?

Nah, but they aren't plentiful enough for a thread, I don't think.

Whispered loudly.

Unless... there's a bribe involved?

Has anyone seen Ask A Ninja? It's very funny. Sometimes a little crude, but not usually. It's very... Ben Stiller in a ninja outfit meets Strong Bad Emails.

If you even try to bribe me you're getting fragged. :evil:

...unless I make up the oxymoron "Peaceful SigInt"

Then there's "Meek and mild SigInt" and "Quiet and harmless SigInt"....

shall I go on? :twisted:

Very slowly - as in a period of about 105 years. :)

"Feminine SigInt"

I'm going to regret this, probably... 8O

Have you ever read "I have no mouth and I must scream" Laz? That's about what you're aiming for now. :twisted:

"Girly, giggly, bashful, talk-about-boys-all-the-time beyond just feminine SigInt"
