Syllable count: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. PLUS a philosophical statement Any combination of a prime number syllable count may be used per line, to avoid mirror images as this will detract from the free style feel. The line breaks serve as punctuation and no caps used, unless it is called for.
I could close my eyes
and pretend
alternative facts exist
but I won't
perhaps I am too old or set in my ways
to comprehend the nonsensical ecobabble
that denigrates global warming as a hoax
a political millstone
liberals hung around the necks of gullible fools
designed to grind down progress and high profits
but that is a lie
Earth is in distress
our planet is not an inexhaustible resource
we are insensitive to nature's limits
and we will suffer for it
mark my words
(Suzette Prime)
