Hey Steve, what a lovely surprise! Thanks so much.
IMHO, it's FV because it has no fixed form, neither for the rhyming nor metre. I just worked in some inner & end rhymes as they came to my mind, but there's no pattern. I wanted to make it sound musical, but without restrictions of form.
Let's see what Lori says! Meanwhile, hugs and good luck with your home improvements! Take care, Steve!
The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
"There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction."
Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.

G'day Lori.
I would like to Nominate Larry for the Crown Jewels Award.
Larry has shown great versatility (like the pun) by not only writing a poem using heptameter, but a Shakespearean style sonnet.
Outstanding poem.

Hi Lori, I would like to nominate Beverly's (PeterPan) poem Unstoppable for the faery award this just caught me right off and sent shivers down my spine. I think it is absolutely wonderful and breathtaking. Here is the link...http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=13885&st=0&gopid=118424&#entry118424
Lori, I would like to nominate Daniel's 100 word drabble #62 for a faery award as it was an awesome read that to me just flowed like a free verse poem but was written as prose. I was captivated and very moved by this well written and thought provoking piece.
