Blackberry Eating Comments

Congratualtions being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day! Well captured action eating blackberries in late September.

Truly eating Blackberries or.....remembering him going to te CORE in Europe. He could have eaten apples too or other berries, not only blackberries, in the silent, startled, icy, black language of blackberry -- eating in late September. Beautiful! 5 Stars!

it's late September; good month of love feelings; beautifully crafted the imagery

.......a beautiful poem....with beautiful imagery....would love to have some blackberries at this moment...

I am not sure whether to call this poem a sonnet or a quatorzain. It is not rhymed iambic pentameter, but it has the typical octave/sestet meaning shift of conventional sonnets. I note that other poets (Robert Hayden, for instance) call their unrhymed free verse 14-liners sonnets. I have never seen Mr. Kinnell's poem so labeled. Can anyone give me a clue? I have written extensively aboout the poem but don't know what to call it in terms of traditional forms.
