None, Jesus was her only son (Technically, Jesus was only God's son, but Mary was like a mother and delivered him into the world.) <><><><> There is disagreement on this point. Matthew, Chapter 13, mentions the siblings of Jesus. Verse 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Verse 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us?

Poetry that does not use set meter or rhyme scheme is known as free verse. This phrase, however, can be somewhat deceptive because while poetry in this form does not adhere to traditional definitions of poetry forms, these elements of rhyme and meter are still important. It is rare to find a poem that is truly free verse, where the poet has not thought extremely carefully about every word choice in each line.
