Free Verse

Write a poem here
No need to rhyme
Each line you craft


Write how you feel
Feel what you write
Cite thoughts that wing


Speak from your heart
Yet think of feel
In thoughts laid plain


Feel pulse and urge
Merge with deep thought
Live surge of words


Line by line tell
How feel shapes mind
In splurge of swirls


Be a soul then
As poise sparks way
Heed inner voice


Say what you say
In words that ooze
Squeeze more in less


And as you feel
Know deep impulse
As feelings surge


Words are like paint
Tints and shades thrill
Words colour wit


So sit up straight
Pick up your pen
Let thought flow write


Be brief with thought
Let soul speak up
In verse that pine
