Free Verse Poetry

The official definition of Free Verse is:


Free verse

Nonmetrical, nonrhyming lines that closely follow the natural rhythms of speech. A regular pattern of sound or rhythm may emerge in free-verse lines, but the poet does not adhere to a metrical plan in their composition. Matthew Arnold and Walt Whitman explored the possibilities of nonmetrical poetry in the 19th century. Since the early 20th century, the majority of published lyric poetry has been written in free verse. See the work of William Carlos Williams, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and H.D.

I tend to find myself writing in this manner. I was never one to be put in a box. Nobody was surprised when even Spotify in my "2022 Wrapped" called my listening style 'Maverick.'
