Free Verse in Poetry

Free verse is a type of poem that is free from structural limitations. It doesn't have any strict meter or rhyme schemes with fixed forms. Nonetheless, it still allows poets to utilize alliteration, rhyme, cadences, and rhythms that they may consider fitting for their piece. To put it simply, free verse poems allow ideas to flow and be expressed freely and creatively with the accompaniment of various poetry strategies as per the poet's will.



Illustration from My Red String of Fate

The Threads of Fate Lie Bare
A Free Verse Poem by Tatsumakenji

The path we walk on is a thread

Woven by the judicators of fate

Who preordain our days.  


But do not misunderstand

For our destinies lie within our hands.

 

Each step we take

Is our own choice to make.

Everything we’ve experienced

Are results of what we’ve decided.

 

Henceforth, we are in control of our fate

For we are the judicators who weave the threads

That determines the path we forge ahead.
