“No one would use both rhyme and alliteration, except as a joke. Nonsense.”
Why don’t you try and write a long poem (which is what Piers Plowman is) using both, and see what people have to say?
It’s not particularly difficult. A precocious child could do it.
It’s not going to be taken seriously.
“Except when it is: ie. Idyls of the King are straight narration.”
So the death of Arthur is “straight narration”?
Rubbish
“ Later you say "poetry is what craftsmen say poetry is". Contradictory”
Which is not the same thing as “anything and everything”.
“ Certainly true for some poets, but it is mistaken as a generalization. Different poets are trying to do other things.”
What “other things”? Either add to your own question or I’ll take this as reddit style engagement farming and move on to better things than clicking on a low value post
