the next time you hear someone in a workshop remarking on how good a particular free-verse line or passage sounds, scan it. The odds are that it will fall into a regular metrical pattern. - Annie Finch
Thinking is translating 'prosaic-ideas' without accessories" since ideas (in brain) do not follow any metrical composition. - Md. Ziaul Haque
