Where can you get poems which have no rhyming words?

Answer 1

Ah but were all those poems of poetry lost then there would be no such thing as Paradise Lost! Such blank verse, such bold bravado, such elevation of language, looking down it's nose at rhyming like rhyming were for the common and the blankness of verse for better beings. This is how the Bard saw it, indeed how most bards saw it, but that was then and this is now and now ain't time for you and I if it means that to get this through to you , I have to tell it in Iambic types of meter, like iambic pentameter. What a bore counting syllables just to tell a tale, what's wrong with just eschewing all the sing song rhyming tricks and blankly tell a poem?

Answer 2

Blank verse. Some Latin mottos and slogans can be fit into this category- for example Sic Transit Gloria Mundi- Thus passes the glory of the World, another translation, In Transit, World Glory- as one might guess, the motto of the New York Central associated with Vanderbilt family.
