To me that's a completely alien viewpoint. I've written both free verse and verse in traditional forms; I prefer verse in traditional forms, because the constraints of rhyme, meter, and stanzaic form challenge and therefore stimulate my imagination. I've always agreed with Robert Frost, who said that writing free verse was like playing tennis with the net down.
