Free Verse
Free Verse
Free verse is so great
You can do whatever you want
Just put words on a page
Add a few emotions
To spice it up a bit
Thrill about a flower
Or cry about a rose
Maybe add sound effects
To make it a little lively
CRACK! Went the baseball
Sobbing at your score
Don’t forget some similes
To look very sophisticated
So you can brag like a poodle
And smile like a Cheshire cat
Dabble in personification
To make something human
So this poem isn’t depressed
And hopefully won’t cry
A way to make it sound cool
Is to add a little rhyme
It may take some time
There you have it
The ingredients for a poem
Write one yourself
It’s easy to do
I did it in a few minutes
And so can you
