I went Googling for "rhymed free verse" and got some hits.
The idea seems to be that the verse in question is rhythmically irregular, but rhymed. Some of what I write is like that.
To me, such verse is not really "free", since it is still confined by rhyme. Partly it's merely semantics, I suppose.
But isn't it funny that there's no set phrase for verse that is not free?
To write unfree verse
Is my daily curse.
But isn't binding words with rhyme
A kind of crime?
Don't they deserve to be chosen on meaning alone
Without attention to accidents such as tone?
