Vers Libre

Without a voice it cannot sing No echos in the heart will ring Come read,contemplate,give it time Euphony ,floats on tides of rhyme; Set free from custom's tyranny Altenatives in poetry, Lineation and enjambment become the poets's intrument. Beware ,sans pace in patterned verse Vers Libre scans as prose, or worse and stays a writer's curse

Amen .. a curse it is to me this free verse.. although I did write two this month for the contests which required that form... a great setup Brian to make the reader focus on your words intently..luv.. "Sweetheart"

Interesting warning. Sans pace??? Keep the creative pen flowing. I have trouble getting the rhythm in the lines like I would have it flow in thought patterns or in the spoken word. Sara
