'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 quite optional
it can be one lovely 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 all the puzzle pieces to create beauty . . . . __________________________________ April 4, 2020 (Edit, November 23, 2019) Poetry/Free Verse/'Pieces to the Puzzle' Copyright Protected, ID 20- 1241-324-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted into the contest, Strand Choice Z sponsor, Brian Strand Honorable Mention

Hi Constance. Congratulations on you winning placement! Your poem format speaks to free verse as much as the contents. Really nice!

Hello I’m a fan of this one for sure! Hope all is well and I also just posted a new piece of work called Enhanced Visions and would love to hear your thoughts. With things the way they are these days I put my thoughts into words. Have a great day

Hi BW, sorry, I'm still calling you BW. A lovely poem. Free verse is likely my favorite form, but when I want a challenge I'm willing to try almost anything-almost.

James, I like free verse but like you like to try different forms, and thanks your for the compliment. I will visit your page and see if you have written anything new _Constance

there is comfort when the correct form has been chosen so a poet can be free to write, I believe a poem must fit the form not a form to fit the poem...good luck
