"And as for vers libre, we conclude that it is not defined by absence of pattern or absence of rhyme, for other verse is without these; that it is not defined by non-existence of metre, since even the worst verse can be scanned; and we conclude that the division between Conservative Verse and vers libre does not exist, for there is only good verse, bad verse, and chaos."

"Free verse is writing presented as "verse" that does not employ traditional metrical systems. Beyond this bare statement no further generalization can be made."
- Stephen Adams, Poetic Designs
"I would be as satisfied to play tennis with the net down as to write verse with no verse form set to stay me."
- Robert Frost
"Sustained metrical design does not exist in free verse poems, of course, but often some meter is employed briefly for effect."
- Mary Oliver, Rules of the Dance
There is as much a division between free verse and metrical verse as there is between the accentual system and the syllabic system. They can be combined, they can weave in and out of one another. Neither is wrong. But they are different.

In 1999 Larry King on his late night talk show had Mr. Clancy, a writer of some note, in case you do not know of him, was asked his favorite writing.He answered poetry. Larry King asked him why. Mr. Clancy went on to say that there are three kinds of poets. There are the poets that write for pleasure. There are the poets that have been taught the tools of poetry such as rhyme and pattern or metier by scholars, then there are those poets that sit down and write out their hearts and souls onto a page that may contain none of these. But the works they produce, whether published or kept private are produced in moments and I believe are divinely inspired somehow. These are the best writers in the world and I would never change a thing in the poems of theirs I have been privy to. - This is the best that I can remember Mr. Clancy's words but the reason they are so ingrained in me is that I was awakened out of a dead sleep by my mom to tell me this and she believed I was one of whom Mr. Clancy was speaking. I cannot say if she was right or wrong, I can only say that the poetry or prose or whatever you wish to call it sir hits me, and I have written on check registers in my car, napkins at restaurants, program directories at symphonies etc. because the words cannot stop. Once I have them collected if they are the blood of my heart bled out, I cannot change them. Nor would I to fit them into any style. I support free verse and I support the poets that write what they feel deeply and if it right and readable no matter how the style it is their choice as to how they present their art. For poetry too is art. What brush stroke would you have changed in a Picasso or how would you have him changed his figures to fit the world's traditions of scholars and art critics?
Please note I am not being in the least bit critical. I am merely saying that sometimes technique can be taught but talent and the gift of the muse is the muse's choice and sometimes she chooses taught or not.
Thank you for you time.

Yeah, they are different. But it's a quote I like to pull as a joke. I think I saw its article linked next to "There is no escape from meter, only mastery", which seems to be exalting well-written metered poetry over well-written free verse.
Anyway. Thanks for the quotes

Whoo ! ^-^ Another Cheshire.
I love "My Angel."
You've got a beautiful model and the wings are great. Just enough to make you think that they are there one moment to one who is looking for them, and gone to those who arent.
good work ^-^
