unryhmed, nonsensical poetry

'Paradise Lost' doesn't rhyme. Neither did most modernist poetry like Eliot and Pound who were called non-sensical.

Yes but Milton, like Shakespeare (whom I grossly ommitted from my preliminary list) wrote in iambic pentameter, or blank verse. It was structured and ordered.

I am not a fan of T.S . Eliot, eeeeee cumings or the rest of the decontructionists... form and structure help create beauty, chaos is ugliness..
