free verse
Free verse is an open form of poetry. It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any other musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.
==Prefatory==
Poets have explained that free verse is not totally free. Free verse displays some elements of form. Most free verse, for example, self-evidently continues to observe a convention of the poetic line in some sense, at least in written representations, though retaining a potential degree of linkage. Donald Hall goes as far as to say that "the ''form'' of free verse is as binding and as liberating as the ''form'' of a rondeau",〔Donald Hall, in the essay 'Goatfoot, Milktongue, Twinbird' in the book of 0-472-40000-2.〕 and T. S. Eliot wrote, "No verse is free for the man who wants to do a good job".〔in the essay "The Music of Poetry"Jackson (1 January 1942) ASIN B0032Q49RO〕 Kenneth Allott the poet/critic said the adoption by some poets of vers libre arose from 'mere desire for novelty, the imitation of Whitman, the study of Jacobean dramatic blank verse, and the awareness of what French poets had already done to the Alexandrine in France'.〔Introductory Note by Kenneth Allott (ed) ''The Penguin Book of Contemporary Verse'' , Penguin Books, Harmondsworth, England 1950〕 The American critic John Livingston Lowes in 1916 observed 'Free verse may be written as very beautiful prose; prose may be written as very beautiful free verse. Which is which?'〔Lowes, Livingston John, ''Nation'' Feb 1916〕
Some poets have considered free verse restrictive in its own way. In 1922 Robert Bridges voiced his reservations in the essay 'Humdrum and Harum-Scarum.' Robert Frost later remarked that writing free verse was like "playing tennis without a net." William Carlos Williams said "being an art form, verse cannot be free in the sense of having no limitations or guiding principles".〔Free Verse ,Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics,2nd Ed ,1975〕 Yvor Winters, the poet/critic said "the free verse that is really verse, the best that is, of W.C. Williams, H. D., Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, and Ezra Pound is the antithesis of free"〔Primitivism and Decadence: A Study of American Experimental Poetry Arrow Editions , New York , 1937〕
