The Poetry Project

Free Verse
According to Wikipedia free verse verse is an open form of poetry which does not use a prescribed or regular meter or rhyme and tends to follow the rhythm of natural or irregular speech. Free verse encompasses a large range of poetic form, and the distinction between free verse and other forms (such as prose) is often ambiguous. Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_verse

Choreographed Grace

Don't believe that dancers are awkward?
dancers are graceful beyond belief.
Are you upset by how liquid they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the dancers so gracious?
Don't believe that the waltz is rugged?
the waltz is delicate beyond belief.
Does the waltz make you shiver?
does it?
Pay attention to the choreography,
the choreography is the most little dancing of all.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the choreography,
Gently it goes - the wee, the smaller, the short.
