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.
