Notes About The Poem

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FREED VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' (intuitive cadence)& so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respondents thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment

Flirtation a Freed Verse

FLIRTATION
a  pretext
for
the  glamorous
renaissance
across
the  core
of romantic love
swathed in
the symbolic
changing
&swaggering
in a suggestive
state
emblematic
of the
 vanity
so so
essential
&
appropriate
to the occasion

 beauty-obsessed
assessed
 & filtered
adolescence
so
superficially
beautiful
looking fo
 a glimpse
of the
reassurance
&
 the spectacular
 in profile
to be paraded
in an
appearance
so soft
 gentle
&soothing
 aspiring towards
 desire
& promise
 covered with
 ornamental
 displays
  of perfection
a
 focus on
&  aimed at
the  observer
at  will
