I don't have much use for poetry except as it exists as song lyrics.
Free verse seems to me to be the work of someone who doesn't know the rules of syllable counts and the symmetry that exists in most poetry. IMO, which is worth nothing, free verse is a way to throw thoughts together in a way that it looks like poetry when printed out but really follows none of the accepted rules.
It make me think of beatniks snapping their fingers in some smoky, dark lounge. Steam of consciousness blather...not something that draws me in.
