The Snowman There once was a very happy snowman who was loved by all the boys and girls. He would watch them run and play with each passing day.  One day the sun was so bright the snowman knew it wasn't quite right. He hoped with each day that he would not melt away if only he could make it until night.
As the days became warmer and warmer the snowman knew he was in danger. He said his good-byes  and looked in their eyes and said, "I promise I'll see you again."
The next snowy day the children all came out to play. They worked for hours together to bring their friend back to them. Before the days end they all had their friend. The happy snowman joined them once again

1 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 2 Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 3 Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 4 And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 5 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 6 And often is his gold complexion dimmed, 7 And every fair from fair sometime declines, 8 By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: 9 But thy eternal summer shall not fade, 10 Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, 11 Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, 12 When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, 13 So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, 14 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

22. Free Verse Poem
Free verse poetry is free from the normal rules of poetry.
No length requirements
No rhyme, meter, subject matter restraints.
Free verse poetry is not just gibberish however. It still must have a subject, must be lexical (understandable) words.
It may be more difficult to write free verse than any other form, simply because the poet has more decisions to make. (unlike Haiku, which has a specific form).

23. Free Verse Poem example
“Kittens” by Alaina ?
The kittens stretch, like an elastic headband!
They go outside for some fresh air
And do what kittens do.
A fox approaches and sees them
The kittens run back,
Where it is safe.
Their owner picks them up
And lies them on her
Lap and pets them as they go to sleep.
MEOW!! Prrr!! MEOW!!
