Free Verse

Free verse
It has no rules what so ever. The lines are irregular and may or may not rhyme. Instead of fitting content to form, the poet allows content to shape the form, changing line length and meter to emphasize words and sounds. Free verse develops its own rhythms, most often annotated by the use of the line-break, and is capable of complex effects of rhythmical and syntactical ambiguity, .free verse should not be confused with free base
As free base is a totally different form!
I just felt there was a lot of confusion on this form I got the impression free verse being related to free base, or that free verse doesn’t rhyme. The fact is that free verse is still a relatively a new form, and is often referred to as American poetry! We, my friends are on the fresh hold of it! So have some fun and create.

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
