: I like poetry with form...specifically rhyme and meter. To me free verse has to be really really good for me to get into it. I sometimes feel that the new chik is to forget the structure in poetry...at least in amature circles. Frankly unstructured poetry is nothing more than stilted prose...at least that's my opinion (and Robert Frost's more or less)
: So I really liked Bert's thing.
: Also I like alot of Chris Kingsford's new hip hop/ beat stuff, but there again... it has a structure, even if it is often synchopated.
: nothing personal to all the free versers out there, it's just my own prefernece.
rejected by my friend
now where will i begin
to trace the pain it causes
he doesn't like my clauses
that have no rhyme nor meter
and on loose structure teeter
do prose all from emotion
locutionary commotion
