We were discussing the change from traditional to modern poetry, Donkey, and the subsequent redefinition of poetry (abandonment of rhymed-metered verse).

1) Hip-hop and rap did not appear until long after the change had taken place.
2) Hip-hop and rap rely heavily on rhyme and meter, and would represent a popular movement to restore traditional poetry.

You and your Stink are obviously unaware of both the history of modern poetry and of the history of poetry in general.
