or the plus a word/minus a word

Once

Upon A

Time When Nothing

We Did Mattered Because

It All Worked Out In

The End, Or So It Seemed

To Us Then, Did We Ever Stop

To Think About A TIme When Everything We

Did Mattered, Because It Never Does Work

Out In The End, Or So

It Seems To Us Now

When Once Upon A

Time Is Saved

these are just sort of the way I end up writing all of my poetry, and I was wondering if this is an established form and if so, who has used it (published people)

I've worked most of these and they are loads of fun.  Since you tend to lean this direction, you should try these forms.  They can be challenging, but fun.

Good Luck

Answer 2

To the best of my limited knowledge on the subject I believe this is called free-form poetry. :)
