Mozart symphony 40 in vers libres

I soar, looking down at a daffodil hill
hovering, then I fly on the wind
within a forest cathedral dome
and to meadows of lovely wildflowers  
then, to a high cliff where I depart . . . 
floating in my reverie
the music capturing my soul
and I am in a sublime trance
spinning, twirling
whirling . . . to Mozart

Bondit Vers Lui

Beaux petits lapins
Sans chagrins
Bien nourries
Sans ennuies
Bien au chaud
Âmes si gros
Près à partagés
Tu n'a pas changé
Aussi courageuse

Savoir le bien être
Couvres vos têtes
L'amour de nos jours
Avait besoin de secours
Me prendre par la main
Vos douleurs vous faites fin

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

My Rant and Theory of Vers Libre

The writers of vers libre follow no structure,
it begins with an image in their head;
          words imagining a picture,
and soon the creating will spread;
          but it is not about telling a rambling story.

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

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)

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
