Free Verse

"Fog" by Carl Sandburg is written in free verse, as it does not adhere to a specific rhyme scheme or metrical pattern. Free verse allows for more flexibility in form, enabling the poet to focus on imagery and emotion.

To get to the bottom you must get your heart to enhance the specialty....

Pros: No restrictions; No requirements; having freedom from structure can challenge the poet, encouraging artistic growth

Cons: There can be difficulty finding the flow in non-metered pieces; Lack of structure can make free verse look disorganized

No they can't because then it's a rhyme poem.

^^ that answer is bull. ^^

Of course it can rhyme. It's free verse, meaning it's free to do what you want. As long as the rhyme has no set pattern to it, it is still free verse.

Helen Steiner Rice is credited with this somewhat off-base religious tract. I am glad you call it a poem. There are a number of theological off-course angles- if not actually mistatements in the poem. It seems to imply a possibly temporary Mobility handicap on The Christ when he was a youngster ( possible?) and seems to imply his Supernatural powers were dormant in this period. along the mobility handicap line it seems to suggest- indeed directly states that he never traveled more than fifty miles from his point of origin which is absurd- it is known St. Paul- using the primitive transportation of the period- ships, afoot, and probably horseback- yes., definitely, he was an ex- Roman foreign legionnaire.- well, Paul got around and surely covered thousands of miles deep into Greek and Roman territory- take a look at a map these countries and Israel hardly ( touch borders). The song seems to ground Christ with a ( Fifty Mile Restriction) akin to those ( for very sensible reasons) applied to Volunteer Firemen when (On Call) status- hey a fire could break out locally! I never liked this Under-Dog approach to the Divine Master, and while not sacrilegious, it does seem to impose limitations on Christ that did not, or probably did not exist. Look at the travels of St. Paul! ( same period). I have doubts as to whether Helen Steiner Rice ( very prolific Hallmark Cards poetess) was a real person or a composite name used by several writers ( common practice with Hardy Boys and some Science-fiction yarns). at any rate she or they was NOT a competent theologian!

Free verse poems do not follow a specific rhyme scheme or meter. They vary in line length, stanza organization, and structure, allowing for greater freedom and creativity in expressing emotions and ideas. This form of poetry focuses on the natural flow of language and the poet's unique voice.

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 definition of free verse is poetry that does not have a regular rhyme scheme! Example:

He was my heart,

my one true love

I gave him my all

-why couldn't he call-

Crying but I'll restart

Loving, fly like a dove.
