In keeping with the 'Something for the weekend' theme, I thought I'd share a brief flirtation with a free verse.
A Visual Dance
One passing
glance,
mere moments
held;
a visual embrace.
Heart flutters
in tympanic
dance,
rose tinted flush
adorns
as nervous smile,
and lowered lash
invite
Temptation's
sword.
Free
Verse is an irregular form of poetry that does not necessarily follow the
traditional rules of meter (rhythm), rhyme, form or punctuation etc.
Yet
despite its freedom, free verse often maintains some elements of form. Most
free verse does observe a convention of lines and structure. One of the main considerations
when writing free verse is where to insert line breaks; often achieved by
breaking the line where there is a natural pause or a point of suspense.
I loved it, Laurie. Hope your 'flirtation' is not too brief.
ReplyDeleteI quite like free verse, Jean; minimal rules you see...lol (See previous post)although I seem to be hung up on Japanese short forms at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'll be flirting with Free Verse again soon.
Thank s for the visit.
