Paris Spleen is a collection of poems with all kinds of different themes and content, Baudelaire had consistently used a form that enhances the content of the poem, even though had used a more traditional form at the time, these poems may not have been as powerful and popular. An example of Baudelaire's form which moved away from traditional forms of poetry, is seen through the poem "The Firing Range and the Cemetery", a free form poem which appears to have no structure and seemingly similar to a short story, for the la poetry is quite clever with form. The nature of this writing seems simple to some, but by indulging and delving deeper into the poem, one might see more than one would like; the journey of a character who goes to a cemetery and hears voices, but the poem is more than a first-time reader could ever think. By digging into the poem, one can realize the symbolism of things and interpret what their ideals come from this poem, as the seemingly simple way of writing of this poem, brings much more than just a man going to the shooting range and the graveyard. The poem is enriched through a certain choice of words, the way the poem is structured and thematic, using 4 stanzas, and the narrative way of writing. Although Baudelaire's poetry is free in nature, the poem has a simple structure as in, there are 4 stanzas, all with different action and narrative for the character. The first stanza, being the setup, begins with the character seeing the tavern which inevitably brings him in, due to a sign, and through the character talking about how he feels the owner might have appreciated the earlier poets and could have be fond. ancient Egyptian artifacts, leading to the second verse. The second…half of the paper…all now as “The Firing Range and the Cemetery,” a poem, whose choice of words made the poem so much better. Free form broke the walls of structure and created something new, without any form, we get a form that does not rely on old traditional methods and can create equally worthy poetry. As the form changes, our choice of words also changes, words create a deeper meaning, if used correctly, but with a deeper meaning, people create something new; a new interpretation, creates a new idea of ​​thought. Through Baudelaire's great choice of words, the free-form style Baudelaire uses, and the point of view that complements the style, we get one of Paris Spleen's poems, "The Firing Range and the Cemetery."
