If I but write, then simply break the lines
At random points, I know what will appear
To some; forget the meter and the rhymes:
‘Twill be a poem I create, I swear!
Decide to not decide: ‘tis chooser’s choice
To choose (and also not!) unfettered form,
While unseen Muses sing in structured voice
And guide your every word to meet the norm.
A river’s power falls within its banks,
Without which all that water’s nothing more
Than teardrops cried into the sea; give thanks:
All poems have a form you can’t ignore.
So chose with formless freedom now to write:
Your poems flow (you think) by their own might!
