Free Verse

Free verse is just what it says it is - poetry that is written without proper rules about form, rhyme, rhythm, meter, etc.

Example:

"Winter Poem"

once a snowflake fell

on my brow and i loved

it so much and i kissed

it and it was happy and called its cousins

and brothers and a web

of snow engulfed me then

i reached to love them all

and i squeezed them and they became

a spring rain and i stood perfectly

still and was a flower
