The Last of the Free Verse Defenders

He intoned:  Poems don't 
                       have to rhyme
  and boldly stepped foward
into the world of books and 
               magic
   Leaving behind the formalist 
slant
      he moved along the 
path
   picking flowers as he went
light shone down on his 
     words
His words leap off the page
  and 
       enter 
              into 
  the consciousness of
those inclined
                 to open their minds
  open them 
to surreal visions 
            which dance through 
   each and every last
synapse
