99 Designs Review - The Monday Morning Memo

“I believe there is a time
and a space and a place
for free verse.

It is a style of expression
not better, or worse,
than iambic pentameter.

Frost was wrong.
Free verse is a song.

I love you Robert,
but vertical-flip
your frown.

Free verse is not
like playing tennis
with the net down.”

- Roy H. Williams, Oct 10, 2024, 4:19AM. "For my part I should be as satisfied to play tennis with the net down as to write verse with no verse form set to stay me." – Robert Frost, in a 1934 letter to his daughter Lesley Frost. "Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down." – Robert Frost, May 17, 1935, Milton Academy, Massachusetts
