Choosing a Form

[Philatone]

Taking it a step further, I think form can extend to shifts inside of the poem. For instance, in an otherwise metered poem, maybe there is a section on the wind. here, it may be good to break from from, disrupt line breaks, alter spacing. if a free verse poem has a small section related to music, maybe some brief rhyme and meter could help. it depends how much you want the form to reinforce the meaning. if it gets to be a distraction, maybe it would be best to let it rest.
