Whistle through your comb. That ain't been there before. This poem is an example of free verse poetry because it does not follow a set rhyme scheme, rhythm or pattern. Although 'floor' and 'before' rhyme, there are no other rhyming words in the poem and each line has a different number of words and syllables.
Likewise, how do you write a free verse?
Five steps to free verse.
- Choose your subject and write about it.
- Check your rough poem to see if anything is missing.
- Read the rough poem aloud.
- 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.
Keeping this in view, what is a verse example?
The literary term 'verse' is used to refer to any single, lone line of a poetry composition. A metrical writing line is known as verse. The word can however, also refer to a stanza or any other part of the poetry. Example: A single line or stanza in a poem would be an example of verse.
Most poems are somewhere in between those two extremes, of course—and typically closer to one line than book-length! Free Verse can be any length, from only a few lines, to over fifty.
