Make Music Poem by Tom Billsborough
Make Music
Compose a lyric. Make it sing.
The corset driven verse has gone.
The birds are calling one to one.
Let our music now take wing.
in which it seemed the poet was wearing very tight corsets. Well, her poem certainly was! Eliot and Plath taught us how to sing. Let's do it. Corsets are no doubt very uncomfortable, though I have never worn them!

Hi Tom, I agree that the corset-driven verse is gone! :))) I love that idea. Its awesome. Make the music and make it sing. I read a poem yesterday that was all about movement....loved it.
I remember Sylvia Plath's transformation after a period of instruction under Robert Lowell at, I think, Yale anyway Ivy Leaf. After that her verse really took off and I think her poem Daddy is the best poem written in english since Eliot's East Coker. Both have a wonderfully free music, as do many of Lowell's. Sadly in England a habit of tight verse has emerged. Not my cup of tea. Actually I hate tea. Maybe you Americans have a freer style. Certainly the best modern verse I've read comes either from the States or Ireland. Tom
