"Free the verse!"
We will chant, with some prominent personalities joining our the cause de jour
Not understanding what we're asking for, but with heart in the right place
Too long have we been held under this rule of meter
Until our verse is free, our minds are not
So restricting is the page on which we write!
Some surgeon poets insist we must carve every line
Not realising the scalpel pen they use is still a tool of butchery!
Carefully controlling which parts of themselves are allowed to bleed onto the page
Be vulnerable and open, poets of tomorrow!!!
Un-couplet yourselves from these shackles
Tell this story in whatever form you can
and forget every cast you have poured your molten ideas into before
Who. Cares. If the form is hard to read
as long as it is honest
as long as it is genuine
You will know if the pause is right
And whether the correct word is left
We are winged wordweavers
and we are
out
of
our
cage!
