Damnit, just when I was thinking about entering again.

My garden is all overgrown,
And the weeds are creeping up on their own,
Grass has grown 2ft high,
And the trees are darkening the sky,
French windows won't open any more,
Going outside is only through the door. πŸ˜•

Free verse (also at times referred to as vers libre) is a term describing various styles of poetry that are not written using strict meter or rhyme, but that still are recognizable as 'poetry' by virtue of complex patterns of one sort or another that readers can perceive to be part of a coherent whole.
Well, that pretty much settles it then. A verse is not necessarily poem. A poem is not necessarily a verse. A poem can be just about anything in words. A verse can be just about anything in words.

I'm confused. 😞

Well, this won't do. How the hell are we supposed to write verses to compete with each other, if there's no rules at all? At the very least I think Zappa should define some theme for the verses/poems/whatever. Don't you?

Hey, Walt Whitman--now you know what all the fuss about free verse was about.

I want a nasty little Jewish Princess
With long phony nails and a hairdo that rinses
A horrny little Jewish Princess
With a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma
Lonely inside
Well, she can swallow my pride

I want a hairy little Jewish Princess
With a brand new nose, who knows where it goes
I want a steamy little Jewish Princess
With over-worked gums, who squeaks when she cumms
I don't want no troll
I just want a Yemenite hole

I want a darling little Jewish Princess
Who don't know shytt about cooking and is arrogant looking
A vicious little Jewish Princess
To specifically happen with a ðåå-see that's snapin'
All up inside I just want a princess to ride

Awright, back to the fop... everybody twist!

I want a funky little Jewish Princess
A grinder; a bumper, with a pre-moistened dumper
A brazen little Jewish Princess
With titanic tytts, and sand-blasted zits
She can even be poor
So long as she does it with four on the floor (Vapor-lock)

I want a dainty little Jewish Princess
With a couple of sisters who can raise a few blisters
A fragile little Jewish Princess
With Roumanian thighs, who weasels 'n' lies
For two or three nights
Won't someone send me a princess who bites
Won't someone send me a princess who bites
Won't someone send me a princess who bites
Won't someone send me a princess who bites

It's really very simple.

poem noun a literary composition, typically, but not necessarily, in verse.

verse noun poetry, as opposed to prose.
