Just as not all poems rhyme at the end of each line or follow a meter, not all poems look like poems. Open form writing allows a poet to change the shape of his work in order to facilitate expression. Thus, while an open form poem may lack meter and rhyme, its novel arrangement of words on the page will convey meaning in a different way.
Successful open form poems use shapes which are exactly right for what the poem is saying. Often, large “blank” spaces on the page can be “read.” In an open form poem, these spaces can be as meaningful as the words themselves. In “Jump Cabling,” for example, open form creates a picture on the page of the situation described in the poem. The space between the two parts of the poem evokes two cars, which are joined together by a cable – the last line of the poem.
