So, as Blank Verse has meter but is "unfettered" by rhyme, this is a wise perspective. Free verse also does not have a specific rhyme scheme but may have "bits" of meter, or rhyme, or alliteration, etc...

The point is -- your fifteen syllables speak to the power of poetry whether a strict form or free- flowing. It is the essence of the form that flows from our hearts!

    Karen,

    Thank you for your excellent review. This was a challenging poem to write as I was unsure if it needed to be in meter. I agree it is the essence of the form that flows that speak to the power of poetry.

    All the best,

    Eugene

This poem, Unfettered by Rhyme, speaks truthfully about the power of poetic voice. I just want to be sure you are not confusing blank verse with free verse. Blank verse, you probably know, has a sonnet form.

This is well written 15 syllable poem. I must at admit I've never tried black verse because my mind has a problem separating it from free verse. I know it is suppose to structure but no rhyme. I need to develope an appreciate of for it. Some feel the rhyme distracts from the true emotion the words mean to covey.
