Brian Strand Poet Light Verse

Vers Libre

Without a voice it cannot sing
No echos in the heart will ring
Come read,contemplate,give it time
Euphony ,floats on tides of rhyme;

Set free from custom's tyranny
Altenatives in poetry,
Lineation and enjambment
become the poets's intrument.

Beware ,sans pace in patterned verse
Vers Libre scans as prose, or worse

and

        stays 
  
                  a
               
                         writer's

                                curse

Sara Kendrick February 24, 2010 at 4:16 AM Interesting warning. Sans pace??? Keep the creative pen flowing. I have trouble getting the rhythm in the lines like I would have it flow in thought patterns or in the spoken word. Sara
