I'd have to agree with you on that Derma, as I've been posting some of my older stuff so you guys can see my progression, I've noticed a distinct change im my style over the years, which is indeed exactly as you describe, a tight structure that allows my word choices to provide the "looseness" normally conceived of as being Free Verse.

Another thing I noted, although I do tend to use metaphor a lot, it's often missed because it's so obscure! lol.
