To Bee or Not, buzzer Options

To Bee or not to Bee

Another close of day, and rain
pulsed on the building in tintinnabulation.
This was not my choice of evening, but
ducks should be dancing with pleasure.

Another day in the jungle – feeling wiped
and horrified at the thought of fighting traffic
through squares of manmade symmetry.
As I waited at a light, I wondered
why our world was square.

And I wondered why the bee,
that architect of perfection,
had chosen the hexagon as its design,
but man is smarter than a bee
and not as fragile.

And I wondered why I wore my dress pants
on a day destined to be bucketing
till I remembered – man is smarter than a bee.

Hi Merlin - I wish I could get a handle on open form/free verse. I can see the repetition of similar sounds scattered throughout, 'Bees' - although possibly the rhythmic use of the 'z' sounds could have been aurally productive in this particular instance.
But that is too obvious! - I bet it's been done thousands of times - I've done it myself in a short story involving bees.

But what other elements do you feel can be included in an open form verse?
I have so often looked at a free/open verse posting and, without having any knowledge of the form, (if free/open verse can be said to have a form) I just can't analyse what I am reading. We're in juggling with Jello territory here.

Should I judge it as I would judge a piece of fancy prose? Or what ought I to be looking for?
You have said that, to the uninitiated, free verse looks just like chopped up prose. That is where I find myself. Can you help? What should I read?

Re - Tintinnabulation. Oh Yes! I know all about that - I am daily tormented by it! For the past few weeks, I have had tintinnabulation in my ears - the constant ringing of, 'tiny fairy bells', that go on and on, continuously, day and night, and I do wish they wouldn't!
It is called Tinnitus - I just wish someone would find a cure.
Love, Leo
