Free verse is an open form (see Poetry analysis) of poetry that does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any other musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech. Although free verse requires no meter, rhyme, or other traditional poetic techniques, a poet can still use them to create some sense of structure. A clear example of this can be found in Walt Whitman's poems, where he repeats certain phrases and uses commas to create both a rhythm and structure. Much pattern and discipline is to be found in free verse: the internal pattern of sounds, the choice of exact words, and the effect of associations give free verse its beauty.

Beneath the poem write three sentences about why you wrote the poem, three sentences about the poetic devices (include at least 7 poetic devices in your poem: ONE MUST BE ASSONANCE AND THE OTHER MUST BE CONSONANCE! You may not use repetition, enjambment or caesura), and three sentences about the specific form you chose and how the form does or does not follow all of the "rules" of the form. Incorporate at least three vocabulary words from Unit 11.
