In response to Ron Blair's comments: I did not mean to imply in my remarks that free verse shouldn't be written nor even to criticize any poem that I've seen on the net so far. What I wanted to do was voice my opinion that free verse demands careful craftsmanship as much as any other form of poetry, and that there seems to be a rather common and widespread misconception that any group of random thoughts thrown together with a few line breaks constitute a poem. I would like to see more GOOD free verse around. decvax!dartvax!rccall
