is a verse composed of a variable, usually unrhymed lines having no fixed metrical pattern. Example:My last night as a full-time child
I didn't want to sleep, for fear of
Waking up in a rustle of too-crisp sheets
And a creak of inadequate bedsprings
With a lightly snoring virtual stranger eight feet away.
And also I didn't want it to be tomorrow,
Because then it would be time to do what
I've denied for three weeks of subsistence
And oblivion--ignoring is bliss.
And I saw everything I never did
Lying around me, pieces and steps of the
Success I never got, reminders that
Whatever I planned, I never got far.
But in the middle of these broken promises
To myself, I could see for the first time
That I have not been broken.
And I must keep myself, all that is real,
As daybreak does, and nightfall.
I exist to others, but all I need is me.
I will be the last promise, when all is said
And kept.
"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost is a famous example of verse poetry. The poem explores themes of decision-making and self-discovery through a narrative structure and rhyme scheme.

An example of an unrhymed verse is found in free verse poetry, which does not follow a strict rhyme or meter pattern. In free verse, the lines do not necessarily rhyme or have a structured rhythm, allowing for more flexibility and creativity in expressing ideas and emotions.
Free verse is poetry that does not follow a specific rhyme or meter scheme. It allows for more flexibility in structure and form, often using natural speech rhythms to create poetic expression. An example of free verse is Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself," which is known for its lack of consistent rhyme or meter.
Verse
Free verse is poetry that doesn't have a rhyme scheme or meter as is found in other forms of poetry.
An example of blank verse in Walt Whitman's poetry can be found in his collection "Leaves of Grass," particularly in the poem "Song of Myself." In Emily Dickinson's work, "I could not stop for Death" is an example that features blank verse. Both Whitman and Dickinson use this free verse form to create a natural and fluid rhythm in their poetry.

Free verse poetry.
No. Free verse poetry doesn't abide by any sort of rules- the writer decides everything about how the poem is written. Accidental poetry just refers to someone being poetic by accident. Free verse is a genre of poetry, but accidental is not.
A hybrid is a poetic style in which fuses modernist free verse poetry with classic rhyming poetry.
Yes, that's correct. "Verse" is often used interchangeably with "poetry" to refer to lines of writing that are typically arranged in a rhythmic pattern with a specific meter or structure.
Poetry that doesn't rhyme but follows a regular metrical pattern is called blank verse.
An example of a cadence in poetry could be the rhythmic pattern created by a series of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of verse, such as in iambic pentameter where there are five sets of alternating stressed and unstressed syllables. This creates a musical quality to the poetry.
