Most English poems
I read on the Internet
Are just sentences
That don’t rhyme. How come?
(Not to deride the very cute xmas poem here but serious question. Do I have a bad sample size? Is this rhyming just for song lyrics and rap now? Or was non-rhyming poetry always bigger in English than in other languages?)

Yeah, sure Google Gemini, sure.
PS: "Banoie" in Basque means "I'm leaving" in the dialect of Bizkaia.

Vista creada con IA “Banoie" is not a Basque word; the most likely intended word is baino, which means "than" in comparative sentences, or it could be a misspelling of the French city of Bayonne, known in Basque as Baiona. "Baino" (Basque) * Meaning: "than" * Usage: Used in comparative phrases, for example, "bigger than" or "better than".
