1. Free Verse Poetry

2. Free verse poetry
is free from the
normal rules of poetry.
The poet may choose to include some rhyming words but the poem does not have to rhyme.

3. A free verse
poem may be just
a sentence that is artistically laid
out on the page, or it
can be pages of words.

4. Some forms of free
verse separate, or
split, phrases and words between lines.
Punctuation may be absent or it may be used to place greater emphasis on specific words.

5. The main object of free
verse is to use colorful
words, punctuation, and
word placement to convey meaning to the reader.
Free verse poetry became popular and acceptable during the 20th century, although scattered examples of the style were found previously.
