The Deception of Free Verse Dreams Ii, Translation of L Imposture Du Vers Libre By Rene Etiemble
The deception of “free verse”: Dreams II, Translation of Etiemble’s “L’imposture du vers libre” by T. Wignesan
“Free verse, free not to be verse” – Audiberti
My love is not blue like a lake
my love is not blue like a sky
but red swollen with blood
and of ire
No lapping sounds of oars
playing out a nocturne
Bienne lake or...

A Free Worm
Poetry, look!
A free worm* crawls on you hand!
The French always tended to invent
all sorts of nasty things:
freedom, equality, fraternity,
French fries, free verse.
When I was a small and ardent poet,
I worshipped rhymes
and denied a free verse the right to be called
poetry.
With time I grew up and cooled down,
as evidenced by the lack...

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

Les Mots, Les Vers, Le Pain
words are not well today; starched
you ate them up like bread
in a box they slowly spoiled; parched
charnel house for the unsavory dead.
they’ve pickled long in quiet brine
meaning chokes; forms bind
brackish style and sly shade of lime
but not the wit once thought entwined
Yesterday, words were silkworms
crawling naked through town
Godiva white - stiff, gluey germs

Something of a Vers Libre Rant.
Me?
I'm two hundred and sixty pounds of fat
muscle and bone.
ligaments and nerves.
emotions and freewill.
six feet and three inches
of longing
and of hope
that is bound to be lost
I alone am no hero.
but then again,
alone,
none of us are.
solitude brings out the strength
in only the mad
the frantic
the hopeless
and the dead.
strength lies not in
the whispers of the dead.
is...

Free Verse: Translation of Paul Verlaine's Vers Libres
Free Verse : Translation of Paul Verlaine’s Vers Libres
(Yet another possible translation of Paul Verlaine’s « Vers Libres » by T. Wignesan, though I prefer in my translations not to derange the visual structure and syntactical and linear layout – with some exceptions - of the poem)
I admire the ambition Free Verse invokes
And me,...

Vers Und Kehrvers
(ohne jegliche vorbereitung)
für jede träne
müsste es irgendwo dort
ein lächeln geben
für jeden ruf
eine antwort
am ende jeden traumes
eine erfüllung
mit offenen armen zu warten
bereit die realität
zu umarmen
für jedes ich
soll dort irgendwo
ein du existieren
nur meins
