                how much fun though
                          to tickle
                         the many
                             with
                         the wolf's
                            sheep

Filling his verse with metaphor
Vers libre,not metre was the core,
He lit the fuse and walked away-
So little did his talent yield,for
He left his light on Flanders Field

Tribute to T E Hulme 1883-1917 initiator/catalyst of the Imagist form...

Ekphrasis tribute to and inspired by imagist-F S Flint

 musical rhythm of vers libre
in a sequence of concepts 
&propositions
 recording impressions 
clothed in beauty.
instinct over thought
independent of form 
cadence lyrical expressed
where emotions 
   are the driving force
in
 harmonic flows
 of nuanced  length
&breadth...

gentle
is the secret
lovely
is the tone

subtle
is the key
harmony
the melody

open
is the heart
love
the mantra

receptive
the soul
energy
simmering

embracing
the intent
the desire
the manifestation

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
