Description: A description and short history of the form, with examples, by Conrad Geller.
Helping Writers Achieve Their Dreams for Over 13 Years! Traditional poetic forms have had a bad time of it since Walt Whitman set off the free verse revolution about a hundred and fifty years ago. Critics and teachers have learned to sniff at rhyme and rhythm in contemporary poetry as "doggerel," or, worst epithet of all, "greeting-card verse." Too many young poets, mistakenly seizing on the idea that free verse is an art without rules, have been encouraged to reject any form as an encumbrance to the pristine expression of their feelings.
