Quote by Robert Morgan

The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry.

The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank vers

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the mere adherence to rhyme scheme or the absence of it in blank verse does not guarantee the quality of a poem. It suggests that the true worth of poetry lies in its substance, creativity, and artistic merit, rather than its technical structure. In other words, a poem should be judged based on its ability to evoke emotions, convey powerful ideas, or captivate the reader, rather than solely relying on its rhyme or lack thereof.

The white youth of today have begun to react to the fact that the American Way of Life is a fossil of history. What do they care if their old baldheaded and crew-cut elders don't dig their caveman mops? They couldn't care less about the old, stiff-assed honkies who don't like their new dances: Frog, Monkey, Jerk, Swim, Watusi. All they know is that it feels good to swing to way-out body-rhythms instead of dragging across the dance floor like zombies to the dead beat of mind-smothered Mickey Mouse music.
