Free Verse – (doesn’t rhyme) Autumn Wind Blowing briskly Leaves fall From The Trees We rake Colored leaves In A Big Pile. And jump.

(Another Free-Verse)Gonna Bake Me a Rainbow Poem We stirred up some red and orange and blue and purple in our momma’s pan- Melted a lotta’ Jimbo’s crayons Then they stuck to the bottom Me and my friend SCRAPED AND SCRAPED with a butter knife until… My momma walked through the door Lotsa’ yellin’ Lotsa’ cryin’ My friend left All I wanted was a rainbow- Don’t like this gloomy weather Amy Wilson

(Another Free-Verse)Cheddar Cheese and Chocolate Cake I am crazy about rich, dark, espresso coffee. I am addicted to extra-sharp cheddar cheese and chocolate cake. I never tire of window-shopping or munching crisp apple pies from Burger King. I can consume a whole package of Wheat Thins while curled up reading a favorite novel. I wear purple eyeshadow and pink nail varnish- always. I love to laugh and scream for joy, to sing at the top of my voice. I like to play heavy rock loud enough to burst your eardrums. I like crazy parties, whipped cream, and…solitude.

Another Free Verse Poem Hiccups Dear Hiccups, You’re the enemy of my mouth and throat. You’re the worst thing that could ever- hic- happen! If you ever should disturb me again, I shall toss you out of my vocal chords. You’re like hail on an angry alligator. So, catch my drift, dear hiccups-hic- and get far, far away. Get out-hic-DEAR, AWFUL HICCUPS! -hic- Jennifer Nussinow

Ballad The Mermaid by Author Unknown 'Twas Friday morn when we set sail, And we had not got far from land, When the Captain, he spied a lovely mermaid, With a comb and a glass in her hand. Chorus Oh the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow, While we poor sailors go skipping aloft And the land lubbers lay down below, below, below And the land lubbers lay down below. Then up spoke the Captain of our gallant ship, And a jolly old Captain was he; "I have a wife in Salem town, But tonight a widow she will be." (Chorus Repeated) Then up spoke the Cook of our gallant ship, And a greasy old Cook was he; "I care more for my kettles and my pots, Than I do for the roaring of the sea." (Chorus Repeated) Then up spoke the Cabin-boy of our gallant ship, And a dirty little brat was he; "I have friends in Boston town That don't care a ha' penny for me." (Chorus Repeated) Then three times 'round went our gallant ship, And three times 'round went she, And the third time that she went 'round She sank to the bottom of the sea. ●a songlike narrative poem that tells a story ●usually has rhyme, rhythm and refrain
