Yes, I’d definitely agree that if the traditional poem was better and more honest, I’d go with that, but if the free verse touches more people and is more honest, I’ll go with that. Personally, I find the vehicle of free verse easier to share emotions in almost any day, likely due to the lack of confinement. Not to say that all free verse is just ‘whatever you want’… it should still have a rhythm and ‘rhyme’ of its own. But it’s still ‘freer’ than traditional poetry.

Could you explain tankas more? I’ve never heard of those.

I’d love to share some poetry! I’ll think of which poems to share later, but right now if you wish to read a free verse of mine, I recently had a piece published on the Story Embers Blog, entitled ‘Midnight Thoughts’. It’s about the creative process and the art of brainstorming. 🙂
