Often see in poetry council
an innocent quarry,
is Free verse is realy verse or merely prose chopped into lines?
and what might be its Meter?
beats of ten, nine or a couplet rhymes;
or any other pattern undefined?
Notion of Free verse is:
alien to many more and would mystify the numbers,
as in poetic persuasion
there is ubiquitous influence of Romance and ballad 'convention,
-beats, meter and in stress-
in which we often confess,
but have seen
from Chaucer to Morlow
and from Pop to Pound
something keep stirring our minds.
So is the Free verse;
no certain form or melodic structure
and is less conform to a classic culture.
yet metrical feet may garland
our 'verso libre 'but not a
metrical lineation,
or a whole composition.
such verse could be turned as a quagmire
if its 'cadence' is not admire.
As Prosody
is strongly agonist to any 'missing-measures-
'tis another form of rhythmic pleasure.
as long as has the meaning to play with the heart...Thank you for sharing..
