This poem has been revised and reposted, because the writing and reading of Free Verse, has reached the status it has long deserved. Thank you for your contribution and encouragement.
Free Verse
Without rhyming
or other reliables
poetically written
free verse can be
surprisingly good
After the writing
and fresh reading
it grabs me - here
- I know then that
it's good poetry
Very nicely done and well said, I always have a time writing free verse but you are right when one does come out right they are beautiful contributions.
I have to agree with you Bill. Funny thing tho; I just can't get into it myself. The messages are excellent; you are absolutely right on. As for me, if it doesn't have rhyme and meter, and I'm the author, then it ain't poetry. Guess I'm real old fashioned or just plain stubborn. Seriously though, you've described it perfectly. Well done my friend.

True, true. Some poems must lack rhyme in order to say it right.
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
I love to read free verse that are expressive, I also love to read poems that are rhymed effortlessly. There's so much fun in both.
