[free verse]
The task of “free verse” stops this Poet dead.
How shall I compare thee to anything but
the antithesis of Art?
Iambic meter much more pleases me
than your unruly form, or more accurately,
lack of.
“What’s a time signature?”
free verse would say, or
“What’s rhythm?”
By now, what matter the notes or the pitch?
The freedom of free verse is truly a bitch.
I shouldn’t complain. I just hate admitting that
I’m set in the tried and the true, and that maybe
I’m not as skilled as I’d like to think I am.
