How Do I not rhyme?

Most of my poems are rhyming and I love to rhyme and stuff but the thing is i want to write other types of poems but whenever i dont rhyme them, they sound weird. why? and How can i write without the pressure of rhyming?

Please comment and help me! xoxo

I have some that rhyme and some that don't, i just write it as it comes, for me ryming just flows nicely sometimes, but no matter what the piece of work, rhyming or not, I am always critical of myself.

You could always try formed pieces of poetry such as a rictametre or a cameo etc, to help you get used to not rhyming.

^^Thanks please keep giving me ideas! :) I need them!

Thanks everyone! hope to hear more!

I find it difficult to write free-hand poetry but I have some advice for you..
Don't put a beat or measure in your poetry, you are more likely to look for rhyming words to end your verses if you have a beat..

Perhaps create some lines that do rhyme and then think of words that mean the same but don't rhyme to replace it with? It would still hold a good set of quatrains, and would probably expand the vocabulary used in the piece too.

Just write what you think. I mean, don't think too much and count the sylables in every line and sit for hours stuck on trying to rhyme a word.

Just write the first thing that comes to your head and edit it later.

Hm... for me its the exact opposite. i cant rhyme at all, but i can write plenty of free verse. to me, it just flows more naturally. what i do is just write, like im writing a letter to somebody. thats how a lot of my poems end up, is as letters.

I agree with the last foolish child...i had a hard time liking poems from people who didnt rhyme but after a while i started really reading poems and i saw the beauty in them either way..its all about the emotion and the way you portray it not the way you write it..poetry, i believe, can never really be defined and theres no one way of writing it
