Detailed explanation-1: -Not all poetry rhymes, however. Blank verse, for instance, is a poetic form that features rhythmic rules (such as iambic pentameter ) but no rhymes. Free verse makes no requirements for meter or rhyme.
Detailed explanation-2: -Very simply, poetry does not have to rhyme. While there are many more concrete styles of rhyming poetry, poets sometimes feel that non-rhyming poetry can express ideas in ways that rhyming can’t. Neither rhyming or non-rhyming poetry is better than the other–it is a matter of personal preference.
