PleaMy pain is self-inflicted, but it hurts  to know that I can’t fix things by myself.  I need somebody else to break my curse   
before the damage done becomes much worse  than I can handle.  Trapped inside this shell,  my pain is self-inflicted, but it hurts.   
I write my feelings down in angsty verse:  hyperbole of self-created hell.  I need somebody else to break my curse   
of unrequited love.  I’ll be the first  one to admit that it’s my fault I fell;  my pain is self-inflicted.  Now it hurts   
to have this strong unsatiated thir Plea

LossMy love refused to go away;  I want to say things are alright,  But I have lost a friend today.   
I tried to keep my love at bay,  To sit back, keeping dreams in sight--  My love refused.  To be away   
From you is Hell--to my dismay,  Although I thought we’d win this fight,  I know I’ve lost.  A friend today   
But not tomorrow--every day  Reminds me that I’m so contrite.  My love refused to go away   
And everything is not okay.  I find I’m in a rueful plight,  For I have lost a friend today.   
There’s nothing more for m Loss

The Week Before Christmas’Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the store  there was no time for rest; there were customers galore.  Decorations were hung by the entrance with pride  as the powers that be welcomed spenders inside.   
The customer service desk was way too busy--  I heard so many stories that made me feel dizzy,  like the woman whose husband bought crimson, not red;  and the man who had lost his receipt (so he said).   
When from the back room there arose such a clatter  I left all the drama to see what was the matter.  Away through the aisles I flew like a hawk  when a sudden “ The Week Before Christmas

In all the time I've had this ID, I've never written a journal entry. Until now. And this is only to advertise my new project: a poetry class under the name of ~Professor-Flare. It's my hope to design the class from a beginner's level onward, following (what I feel is) the best progression of acquired poetic skills. Whether you're just starting with poetry or have been writing it for a while, the class should have something to offer you. All the information is in the syllabus there, so if you're interested, please check it out :)

Depends on what dark side you're referring to.

"And as for vers libre, we conclude that it is not defined by absence of pattern or absence of rhyme, for other verse is without these; that it is not defined by non-existence of metre, since even the worst verse can be scanned; and we conclude that the division between Conservative Verse and vers libre does not exist, for there is only good verse, bad verse, and chaos."

"Free verse is writing presented as "verse" that does not employ traditional metrical systems. Beyond this bare statement no further generalization can be made."
- Stephen Adams, Poetic Designs

"I would be as satisfied to play tennis with the net down as to write verse with no verse form set to stay me."
- Robert Frost

"Sustained metrical design does not exist in free verse poems, of course, but often some meter is employed briefly for effect."
- Mary Oliver, Rules of the Dance

There is as much a division between free verse and metrical verse as there is between the accentual system and the syllabic system. They can be combined, they can weave in and out of one another. Neither is wrong. But they are different.
