RE: my other life with you

in #poetry7 years ago

It's free verse poetry and may seem different if you are used to regular stanza and rhyme structures. Let's put it this way - if you fit your thoughts into a template like a sonnet, ballad or typical poetic form, you produce a predictable effect. But if you allow the form to develop organically and grow out of the meaning, you get a quite different experience that is uniquely suited to what's being described. This poem is designed to mimic stream of consciousness and the associative thought patterns of someone on the verge of sleep.

Don't buy it? Try Robert Frost
