Question: Is this poem free verse!?
Beginners!.

HOW they are provided for upon the earth, (appearing at intervals;)
How dear and dreadful they are to the earth;
How they inure to themselves as much as to any-What a paradox appears their age;
How people respond to them, yet know them not;
How there is something relentless in their fate, all times;
How all times mischoose the objects of their adulation and reward,
And how the same inexorable price must still be paid for the same great purchase!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Beginners

Why are they provided for upon the earth!?
Are they dear, or dreadful,
inuring themselves to one as to many!?
What a paradox appears at their age;
people respond to them,
yet know them not!.
But there is something relentless
in their fate at all times,
but all times mischoose the objects
of their adulation and reward!.
At the same time,
the inexorable price must be paid
for the same great purchase--

the beginning!.

Hopefully that clears it up a little!. I really like the poem and the words you chose!. However "mischoose" is not a word, though the meaning is clearly felt within the verse!. Perhaps you could replace it with a word that means the same thing, or present it as is with a new idea!. That is your choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
