You learn the register before you learn anyone's name.You learn which regular tips and which regular explains why they don't.By the third week the till stops feeling like mathand starts feeling like a small, honest machinethat only ever asks you for the truth.I have worked jobs where nothing else did.
About free versePoetry without a set rhyme scheme or regular meter, shaped by the poet.
Free verse has no fixed rhyme scheme or regular meter, so there is no rule to check it against. That does not mean it lacks craft. The poet chooses where lines break, how long they run, and what repeats, and those choices shape it.
Listen for Where each line ends, and how that break changes the way you hear it.
