Free Verse

Open form verse,

Vers libre

More curtailed lines than prose

More tamed rhythmic pattern than prose

 

Scarcity in traditional meter

With haphazard line lengths

Lacking

Rhyme

As lacking as a deficiency

 

Rhythmic effect depends on

 

Echoes,

Symmetry,

Alteration of words, phrases, clauses and lines

 

Instead of on

Cyclical metric feet

 

Have your say
