Cc: Laykorn, texanomaly Okay..this is my first free verse Butterflies in My Room I laid on my back Eyes opened, mind blank I was down and depressed I want to give up, for I'm stressed Then I saw them, even in the gloom Butterflies in my room Gliding without a fear All beauty and fair How I wish I could fly Fly above my limitations Gliding without worry In all the beauty Which God has given me. |

Free Verse I looked at her She looked at me Our eyes locked For what seemed like a century Though it was just for a moment of time But at that moment, we both knew It was love at first sight. Cc Laykorn Texanomaly |

My first acrostic poem Cc Laykorn, texanomaly, leki10 BOKO HARAM Bombs everywhere, blood everywhere Our children's lives, brutally cut short Kill the infidels, they shout Our parents, cut off in their prime Help help, to our leaders we cry Arms clasped in prayer, like the praying mantis Reality is, our leaders are clueless And so, the carnage continues Maybe someday, someday it'll stop. |

The Waterfall "The gushing voice entertains me, the splendid voice. The rush of the waterfall fills me with awe And a great beauty I will always remember Boom boom, it thunders down the slope It slithers, like a snake intent on its prey Where it comes from is a mystery, so is where it goes Who made you, oh waterfall? Who blessed you with such power and glory? What makes you ride and glide over all? Where do you come from? Where do you go? Let's be like the amazing waterfall Always fearless, always marching forth Never to let obstacles derail our cause Riding and gliding over all, like the amazing waterfall.

DEATH OF MR OLOTO Yesterday he was home Seated with his wife, loving her Yesterday he was home Planning for times after Today he's no more Where's Mr Oloto, the wife asked Today he's no more Cos the grim reaper has come Tomorrow he'll be forgotten Leaving alone a grieving wife Plans, dreams and life all cut short By the cruel, cold hands of death. |

Solution. 1. What makes free verse different from all other styles of poetry? Answer: The most distinguishing factor of a free verse to other forms of poetry is the lack of set rules, no set meter nor rhyme scheme. It lacks a particular structure. 2. what is a stanza in poetry? A stanza is a group of set lines or words within a poem usually separate from another by a blank line called a stanza break. It is synonymous to the paragraph in prose. 3. Explain how a stanza arrangement will make your poem better? Answer: Stanzas are used in poetry for defining the structure of a poem . Unlike prose writing which comprises paragraphs, poems are written in lines and stanzas. Poets consider how to situate words,lines and spaces in order to create rhythm and tempo. These poetic devices help to create a mood which supports the theme of the poem. 4. Write a poem in free verse on free verse with title "free verse". FREE VERSE The most powerful things are without restrictions Like the lion that sashay proudly in the jungle Like the sun that rises in the East Like the river that glides on in its course So are the verses I pen The most beautiful things in life are free Like the rose that blooms, even in the gloom Like the smile on the face of a newborn Like the sound of laughter escaping from the lungs So are the verses I pen My life is without restrictions My imaginations roam wild and free My loving is without limits So are the verses I pen.
