please keep comments to the poem/ mod
It is a wonderful draft. I know with a little tweaking here and there, it will unfold into an amazing poem.
I respectfully disagree with Achebe about free verse being the hardest form to write well. Poets who know how to use forms well will have no problem with free verse. It is technically very simple. All they need is to write a form poem without actually following all the rules. Free verse is not easy (and the hardship is really artificial to me) only for those who love structure and crave for rules in the same way they need air to live. In addition to submitting themselves to form poetry only instead of free verse, they will also seek out anything outside of the written world, including having weird rituals in life to have a sense of order. Writing form poetry has a therapeutic and stabilizing effect for their tumultuous mind, but these people are likely extremely insane though. What do you think?
