My Poems Dont Rhyme

My poems don’t really ever rhyme I’m never good with words I’ve never studied poetry or lessons to be learned But that can’t stop my needing My desire to be heard To scream and shout into the void When my heart feels burned So instead of rhyming like I am I only write free verse And usually my final draft Is really just my first I say what comes into my mind Launch it free like a bird And pray the words that I set free Will show me to the world

I like it! I can relate with you very much. I never studied poetry as well, I just saw and read some, and it inspired me. I never knew how to make a poem that rhymes before. I lost my words many times, but I still waited. I waited for the opportunity to reach out my hands to the void, and pull out whatever I can get. And then there it was. I finished a poem

I love writing free verse, free wheeling, popping wheelies ;) Enjoyed!
