Personally, I shy away from any set "form". Probably because I don't honestly think I could do justice to any of them.

Free verse, whilst being a recognised "form" has the beauty that there are no real rules. Though, like Freestyle swimming, there seems to be an effectively recognised norm, which in that sports case, is the Australia Crawl. Woe to anyone like me who dares swim side stroke in the 100m Free!

Having said that, some forms do, as alluded to in an earlier post, lend themselves to certain themes. Free Verse/Free Style, seems particularly suited to works on the self or on, shall we say, politico-relgious topics.

Well, that's my tuppence worth.

End.
