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?
