Student A: Do you think rap artists are the best poets these days?

Student B: I don't know if I would say that they are the best poets, but they are definitely very talented. Rap artists are able to use language in a very creative and expressive way. They also have a great sense of rhythm and flow.

Student A: I agree. I think rap music is a very poetic form of art.

Student B: What do you think about writing poems for greetings cards? Do you think it would be a good job?

Student A: I don't think it would be a bad job, but it's not something that I'm interested in doing. I think it would be challenging to come up with new and original ideas for greetings cards all the time.

Student B: I agree. It would be a lot of pressure.

Student A: What do you think about a good poem having to rhyme and make sense?

Student B: I don't think that a good poem has to rhyme. There are many great poems that don't rhyme. I do think that a good poem should make sense, but it doesn't have to be literal sense. It can make sense figuratively or emotionally.

Student A: I agree. I think that poetry should be open to interpretation.

Student B: What do you think about learning poems by heart? Do you think it's a waste of time?

Student A: I don't think it's a waste of time at all. I think that learning poems by heart can be a very rewarding experience. It can help you to appreciate the beauty of language and to develop your memory.

Student B: I agree. I think that learning poems by heart can also help you to better understand the human condition. Poems can teach us about love, loss, joy, and sorrow.
