Free Verse

 

So I’ve been wondering

What it is that I’ve been writing

The form

The style

The thread

 

Not sure of the structure

But very sure of the content

Real

Raw

And totally honest.

 

Anyway, I’m helping my friend’s daughter

She’s studying for finals

English

A section on poetry.

 

Running definitions for her

Simile,

Alliteration,

Metaphor.

You know

The stuff kids study

Then we forget.

 

So on we went

Onomatopoeia,

Rhyme,

Tone,

And then there it was

Free verse.

Free form poetry with no structure.

 

Huh.

That’s it

This is poetry

Who knew?
