Replying to a comment on:

Hunger (Free verse) by Dovina

(Imagine a single line of text in a circle that you have to turn as you read - the word “Hunger” at the center. You can’t determine where to start, so start reading anywhere.) I am hungry You present me a plate of food Sensations arise I see food, smell it, anticipate eating it Volition comes into use I pick up utensils I indulge in the pleasure of eating As my stomach fills, desire decreases My mind turns to other desires New sensations Mental formulations arise

If a dunce bangs her head against stone because she believes its properties are not stoney, does that make her at war with the stone? The line break thing is correct by the way. It may happen with metrical forms that lines break for syllable count's sake etc (although they really should not), free verse on the other hand attempts to mimic the musical patterns of speech.
