DEFINITION: A poem that doesn't contain a particular rhythm and can possibly break poetry rules
EXAMPLE:
Dance with me.
We'll invent a Finnish tango
and wow all the cool people
at the Copacabana, or
slide a lunar waltz under disco starlight with every
eye watching you.
A sexual Pasa Doblé
in peak hour Times Square traffic
showing New York commuters what
quick step really means as
they funeral march home.
Let's cut a jive in five
eight time to Garth Brooks on
some freaky western drug trip and
hear the applause as
you sashay a foxtrot on
their mundane front lawns.
Take my lead and
we can turn the entire bloody
world
into our dance floor.
SIGNIFICANCE: I personally think free verse is the most less complicated way to write poetry since in free verse poetry, you are able to break poetry rules as long as you realize you are breaking them. Basically, you can just throw any words you want into the poem.
