Conventional Framework

the mirror split
within the look
of sight
the aptest
share was near
snags come from
              prognosticated 

I see it strew
like ice melting
yet it was vivid
& heart 
was sobbing 
from my 
caught 
             metacarpus

where I drove
the staring
fragment i
turned it to
attempt & stop
the red
             drippings

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Frankly, this makes no sense to me whatsoever. I suppose "to each his own" but this is simply not for me.

I respect your opinion, Lasaad, but it is meaningless drivel to me. That's all I'll say at this point. "Organic form" - exactly what do you mean by this? Educate me.

Milt, I respect your opinion, but I think you should try it. It's the most revolutionary poetry style, and it's enjoyable to create. We don't consider the reader's reaction whether writing in rhyme or free poetry; we just convey our sentiments. We intend to keep the reader interested and thinking about a solution in this organic form; for further technical help, you might refer to the poet: Brian Strand. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Confessedly challenging, albeit, intriguing, Lasaad, as the verse solidly cascades as you've noted. My compliments on your top win my friend, Aloha~William

This sounds complicated and too high for my grasp ! My simple brain cannot comprehend it !

It's not as complicated as you think, Valsa. It's actually like subdividing the poem into shards of metaphors. You mention a part of the image and let the reader grasp and imagine what's behind it.

Personally I prefer punctuations. But to each his own.
