Freeverse

     Free-verse is probably my favorite form of poetry, because there are no rules. It doesn't have to rhyme, you don't have to count lines, stanzas, or syllables. You just write what you feel, and that is poetry. It is incredibly similar to art. As a matter of fact, poetry is an art form.

Examples:

O Me! O Life!

~Walt Whitman

The Return

~Ezra Pound

A Dream Within a Dream

~Edgar Alan Poe

The Bells

~Edgar Alan Poe

Mother to Son

~Langston Hughes
