Why not? we're well into/past the age of romanticism. Free form writing has been around for centuries. Doesn't need a flow, doesn't need a rythm, in fact many believe that those can limit and restrict full emotion and feelings in poetry because you're restrained to get the rythm and can't freely express how you want. That's why it's called Free Form. Those that try for rythm but don't follow conventional styles would be Organic Form. Which is more natural but still rythmic or flowing. I chose to write in Free Form, where there're no such limitations.

i mean i wouldn't say that your poems do not have a flow.
speech and poetry do have a rythm by themselves, wether you plan it or not. free form as far as i understand it means that there isn't a necessary ryme-sceme, but there is still a rythm, that can be broken though, but it's still there. in this case however the rythme is secondary.
in your poem the rythm is smooth and quiet, just broken by the double-step in the last stanza.

Alright. I wasn't really planning on a rythm or trying to make one or anything, it's just how it came out, and I added the "double step" just cause I felt like it needed a certain emphasis
