why free verse
September 20, 2017
why do we read free verse
and write it more often than we do
sonnets
it must be the relieving sense
of liberation it casts over
these wretched souls
with so many ineffable
torrents within
and the tides of time
rising and falling
far too quickly for us
to pin down our
already mercurial fantasies
with rhyme and meter

trying to find an answer to a question I've always had--is poetry still the same without rhyme and meter?
