There is quite a debate for the poets in us, as to whether Rhythm and Meter or Free Verse is more popular at competition sites.

Good topic Cleo!
I personally love R & M so I'm biased. I haven't read a lot of the top level poetry from either free verse or R & M but the FV I read on poetry boards rarely does much for me. It seems so easy because there are less contraints and seemingly less rules to follow so you end up with meanderings that for their freedom should really be that much more potent. It seems like choas, being vague, having sentences that follow grammatical rules etc are often ignored in FV. Compare that to the music, discipline, rhythms etc of R & M and for me there's no contest. Freeverse isn't the kind of poetry I would take home to meet, mum. |
