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.

E no easy naah.....Not bad sha.

Anyone who's read my diary know I love butterflies.

Nice job. Watch your punctuation though.

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.

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.
