Constance La France Poet Free verse

Pieces To the Puzzle

in free verse poetry there is a wild freedom
one can write like a bird flying in the sky
metaphors can dance like leaves drifting in the wind
similes can twirl, swirl, and whirl . . . 
low case letters and stanza length is optional
it can be one twining poem or broken up
I love the use of fragmented lines
     and some indention to cause a reader to pause
and best of all free verse fits any theme 

but
at times
I like a form
more structured

counting syllables
and maybe even rhyming
to paint a picture . . . 
to create a poem sweet
to join the puzzle pieces
