I have written a few free-verse or non-rhyming pieces, and to me, the most important element in the non-rhyming styles is EMPHASIS, which you did quite well with your repetition of certain words and ideas. To me, that's an example of good free-verse and non-rhyme. I think your poem is great, but my forte is rhyme, so I have little authority on the non-rhyme genres, I'm afraid. Kudos to you, nonetheless! edited by JustLivingLies on 12/18/2013
