Free Verse Poetry ELS 2O

Free verse is just what it says it is - poetry that is written without proper rules about form, rhyme, rhythm, meter, etc.

In free verse the writer makes their own rules. The writer decides how the poem should look, feel, and sound.

Henry David Thoreau, a great philosopher, explained it this way, "... perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." It may take you a while to "hear your own drummer," but free verse can be a great way to "get things off your chest" and express what you really feel.

Five steps to free verse Nevertheless, follow your instincts. The best way to write free verse is to start with wild abandon and funnel your choice of words and movement through a tightly-focused editing process. Try these five steps to unleash your inner poet:

1 Choose your subject and write about it. Get it all out. Stay deep and true to the rhythm of the poetic movement rolling through you, but get everything about the subject down on paper.

2 Check your rough poem to see if anything is missing. If you need to add a line, or even a stanza, do so. If you’re missing a metaphor, simile, or turn of phrase, add it.

3 Read the rough poem aloud. Free verse is a rhythmic dance with voice and words, so check the sequence of lines and make sure that one flows into the other.

4 Move through your poem with an editor’s pen and make sure you’ve selected the words that give proper accent and cadence to the overall poem.

5 Read the poem aloud until it flows like honey and you feel it inside. That’s a sure sign of a well-completed piece of free verse.
