MY FREED VERSE FORM

OPEN FORM in lowercase without grammatical symbols ,uses spaces&breaks relying upon 'the one breath limitation' & as a  'happening' requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input &respond in a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood & thus is inherently variable.


  as folk talk
&recite
they naturally
 pause
after one breath..
thus gramatical symbols
 are superfluous..

tradition calls
for capitals
at beginning of lines ..
but again spoils
   the flow
as most will
unthinkingly
   hesitate
...thereat

so also ' lines'
as such
 are an irrelevance
in this open
context
