What is an example of verse poetry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

is a verse composed of a variable, usually unrhymed lines having no fixed metrical pattern. Example:My last night as a full-time child

I didn't want to sleep, for fear of

Waking up in a rustle of too-crisp sheets

And a creak of inadequate bedsprings

With a lightly snoring virtual stranger eight feet away.

And also I didn't want it to be tomorrow,

Because then it would be time to do what

I've denied for three weeks of subsistence

And oblivion--ignoring is bliss.

And I saw everything I never did

Lying around me, pieces and steps of the

Success I never got, reminders that

Whatever I planned, I never got far.

But in the middle of these broken promises

To myself, I could see for the first time

That I have not been broken.

And I must keep myself, all that is real,

As daybreak does, and nightfall.

I exist to others, but all I need is me.

I will be the last promise, when all is said

And kept.

"A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

No they can't because then it's a rhyme poem.

Of course it can rhyme. It's free verse, meaning it's free to do what you want. As long as the rhyme has no set pattern to it, it is still free verse.

Nothing, not really. Many poets have exclaimed that free verse isn't free- they have said that free verse must follow its own rules and not be rambling foolishness. so put thought into your poems and the sky is merely your launchpad.

How many lines do free verse have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It has 4 lines.. well to create a sufficient piece of short work well, you could possibly do about 4 to 5 line.

___

Actually, there is no set number. A short poem could conceivably be a single line and still be a poem, although 2 lines might make it clearer that it isn't an attempt at a sentence. :)
