In Reply to: to john with love: more stilted prose? posted by k@ on July 03, 2002 at 18:50:21:
: : 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
: -kat ; )
This was cool. thank you.
