To BeginNextThen Free verse is just what it says it is - poetry
that is written without proper rules about form, rhyme, rhythm,
meter, etc. In free verse the writer makes his/her own rules. The
writer decides how the poem should look, feel, and sound. To get
started just write your thoughts, feelings, and ideas about your
subject like you would in a journal or diary. Go back and look at
your word choices. You want to use adjectives and
adverbs.adjectives adverbs Add figurative language like a simile or
metaphor, hyperbole, otherfigurative languagesimile or metaphor
hyperbole Add sound devices such as Onomatopoeiasound devices
Onomatopoeia Begin cutting up your sentences. You decide your lines
- how long they will be or how short. You decide the spacing
between each line(s). Maybe you decide your poem has no stanzas or
you want to break up your ideas into a stanza or two. You decide
how your poem will look on the page. See examples.examples

Winter Poem -Nikki Giovanni 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 LEAVES OF
GRASS By Walt Whitman Come, said my soul, Such verses for my Body
let us write, (for we are one,) That should I after return, Or,
long, long hence, in other spheres, There to some group of mates
the chants resuming, (Tallying Earth's soil, trees, winds,
tumultuous waves,) Ever with pleas'd smile I may keep on, Ever and
ever yet the verses owningas, first, I here and now Signing for
Soul and Body, set to them my name, Walt Whitman FREE VERSE
