 Message  Yes you can, but IMO it works against the poem b/c the reader has established a certain meter through the previous stanzas and now is jarred when you switch (at least that’s my experience with work I’ve read like that).

 Message  Yes, you can pretty much do anything you want now. You can even write nonmetrical verse.
