The current study aims to discuss the poetic-ness of the free verse manner in the poetry ‘No Women in Poems’ through an innovative concept of artistic-linguistic discursiveness. The theoretical approach to studying the poetic-ness of free verse is employed by the idea of Fairclough’s three CDA dimensions of examining hidden worldviews in texts. The findings are divided into, first, ‘No Women in Poems’ composed of the free verse form as a whole reflecting several free flows of thought and pointing out the quality of poetic-ness. Marvelously, the book of entire free verse enclosed plenty of artistic applications. Not only is creative in the free verse story but it is also communicative in terms of life, philosophy and truth. Second, ‘No Women in Poems’ holds the form of free verse which is associated with a life way in each area experienced by the poet. The last outreach of poetic-ness of the poetry ‘No Women in Poems’ supported by the components of correlation, comprehension, and context deserves universal attention to both local and global readers. It adequately makes humanistic culture reasonably diverse, particularly in Thai society or the homeland. The discussion of the integrated approach assists in explaining humans, minds, practices, and language use through poetic writing. The application can be a vision of ‘close reading’ skills.
