My poems
Write themselves
Usually
But today
I'm trying something new
Something free
Out of my comfort zone
Into the unknown
Exploring what happens
When form is set free
But look
Do you see
That was a rhythm
I failed
Though I tried
Perhaps free form
Is self determined
More about
The writer
The subject
The reader
I don't know
But
I'll keep exploring
Will you keep reading?

I will begin to start and keep reading.
Much prefer your expunged version of the image. Not much wrong with your free verse as far as I can tell.
You and I have the same personal challenge. Tough, isn't it?
thanks, great to have you reading
thanks Aprille
I love how you turned the task into the poem! Wonderful!
I'm still reading........ ;)
Nicely done!
Even free verse has candence . . .you worded your way right into it by stanza 3. And yes, sure.
YES! we'll keep reading! I enjoyed this.
Free verse has rhythm; don't forget that it is poetry. It just doesn't adhere to a certain meter or form. Like anything else, to do it, one must first understand it, and to understand it, one must read it, a lot of it, carefully.
Free verse isn't just hodgepodge. It's a little like jazz music. Jazz isn't just blowing randomly on an instrument. In its way, a free form is more demanding than stricter forms are. It takes work.
Yes... definitely, keep exploring... I'll keep reading.
Yes, I will keep reading. This is delightful!!
... I'm not going anywhere!
Free verse has just as much rhythm as form when it want to! Have fun with it!
