..."vers libre," (free verse) or nine-tenths of it, is not a new metre any more than sleeping in a ditch is a new school of architecture.

If a poem is not memorable, there's probably something wrong. One of the problems of free verse is that much of the free verse poetry is not memorable.

Their free verse was no form at all, yet it made history.

The ocean-blue bowl won’t
refuse to bruise, won’t hold it back
from the gaping earth-wounds.

There will still come
water, chill wind and happy
goosebumps,

and in the utmost corners of oaks,
leaves laughing.

Be careful, darling. Your footsteps land heavy here. Your racket will wake the dragons.

You trip over a word while carrying
a tray of vocabulary out to the pool
only to discover that broken glass
is a good topic.
