I didn't know what to call it, but I think free verse is what I use to get my ideas out when I want to tell a story quickly instead of in narrative format. I just have the story in my head and then I write whatever sounds nice, and it comes out in stanzas.
I never read poetry before. I don't read poetry now, but I discovered free verse, and I started writing my own. I never intentionally sit down and write. It just comes to me and i whip out my phone section and jot down 7-15 lines and there's a poem. It's really really cool. I notice in my every day life I play conversations in my head, of how i can been more effective, responded better, etc. But with free verse, I just spit out my ideas, and the beauty in them is the emotion and transformation or epiphany discovered by the end of it, rather than the words I choose myself. I never re-edit my free verse. I keep it a time capsule. And maybe I tread on the edge of dear diary, but I re-read them, and I feel that it holds up as something more than that. At least most of them do. I feel it comes natural to me and im glad its something I discovered and can explore more of. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for this. I've always been a fan of rhyme poetry but now I'd like to be more open minded. Sometimes, when you are about to express fellings, you just cant suit your thoughts into rhymes. That is why a lot people like free verse imo.
thank you so much for this! i wanted to get into free verse poetry bc of so much that i’m feeling right now but i just didn’t know how? now i know there’s not really rules, just focus on flow! pointing out the whole 5 words in one but 8 words in another line was helpful in squashing a worry of mine haha
Thank you for posting this. Found this while looking more into free verse poetry as I always thought I was a cheat by using this form. That I should learn the rules before breaking them, but never having the patience to study. Having not taken any classes on the subject I would just write from the heart. But would often discount myself or let life's worries get in the way of letting it out on the page. Should I get back into writing poetry, I won't question the form I use or care if it is published or posted or even read at all. Poetry can merely be a release. That feeling one gets before writing is often times as you have described a warmth in the chest, but also it could come from the empty feeling, the lump in the throat or the burn of rage. Thank you, you've touched one more spirit!
Thank you for sharing! I love your examples. From your description of what free verse is, me thinks that's a lot of what I'd been writing into my diary without realizing it.
I was assigned to watch this for my Creative Writing class and I just wanted to say, la la love the second poem of yours that was shown! I feel like I can very closely relate, and so beautifuly put! ugh I had to edit this because wow so very relatable to all really! and its funny how you turn Lana del rey on because I literally ws thinking how your poems gave a Lana vibe! your video really helped me kickstart on my writing!
@@morganbyrne1674 awww thank you so much! I’m so happily surprised my video from 6 years ago is still assigned in classes, but I am glad to see that my advice is still relevant! Poetry publication and what’s popular has changed from 6 years ago 😂 I don’t get much traction on my chapbooks nowadays, but this 100% made my week!
Well, I can't say that because it did hit some kind of algorithm because this is my most viewed video on my channel. But I'm waiting for more views, lol!
Thank you. I'm a late developer (in my middle years) and have recently learned Haiku poetry. Now I am looking for a freer, less structured way to express myself, and your video has really helped xx
Valuable information you are sharing here. Free verse can be difficult for some new poets. There are some free verse poems that are two pages long The visual aids are good to.
Astonished, amaged when u revealed free verse poems . I use to get amaged how Gibran wrote with pinpoint accuracy. Perplexed me wat form of writing was that . I am thankful to you ❤️ for its an eyeopener. You cant imagine where we dwell in mountain , earths remotest place. Breakthrough by u tube made us literate . Thanks
Following one is my poem which I wrote three years ago. A Silent Song of Tree ......................................... All in the stormy night I soaked. I was rolled and drifted by water stream. Half I buried at soft stony river bank side. But all this happened like a dream. As days had passed,I woke up inside of the shell. One early morn in optimal sunlight fall. I tried to stand on my roots, As they found their routes. I unfolded tenderly green leafy fingers up. My first smile and dance by gentle touch of breeze. Oh..As I grew taller bees and colorful butterflies , Flew to reach my tops and became bosom mates. My joy bloomed in unseen colours of flowers. A life longing to tick like a royal clock in towers. I stood by flowing river of Time. And scattered seeds of life to mingle in nature's rhythm and rhyme. (By. Yakubpasha)
BE POLITE I am amazed why some people are talking very loudly, With their women’s, their children’s and their dependence, Even though, we all know that sweet fruits and beautiful flowers Will grow with rain and sun not with thunder and fire! Akbarjoni Emomali Tajikistan
So I guess I'm a verse poet I didn't know there was a difference interesting I learn something new And that would consist of my raps too right I'm guessing it's the same thing I don't know lolz but they're stanzas are different so is that free or is that verse they do rhyme
It sounds like free verse unless you’ve chosen to write a haiku, limerick, etc. those are poems that aren’t free verse because you have to follow strict rules.
Great video! I've been wanting to get more into poetry, and watching you talk about it, along with reading your poms really got me into the mood. Also, I liked your poems by the way. I think my favorite was the one that started with "Hold out your cigarette".
To much rhyming takes away from my story I think. Instead of saying what I really want to I find myself getting distracted by trying to find rhyming words instead, that's why I enjoy free verse much more.
Or you could take up the challenge of finding exactly what you want to say *and* making it rhyme. You are choosing not to rhyme because it will involve hard work. The masters rhymed, even modern masters.
@@abesapien9930 everyone is not a rapper, while everyone also doesn't have dancing rhythm so you stick to the rivers and the lakes that you are use to, everyone is different.
Sorry, I just saw this! Free verse doesn’t have rules you must follow for it to be considered a poem. For example, a haiku, limerick, etc. you must follow certain rules or else they won’t be considered that type of poem.

Very lovely!
Great poem! Joy to read
This exactly what I'm looking for!!! Thank you!
Putting together a book. Now i know what it is Ive written. Well, I knew, but now I know I know.
Awesome news! Good luck :)
I was feeling better about my writing already by watching your video but after you mentioned Lana Del Rey...!!! Yess!😍
Thank you for the very thorough and descriptive explanation of what free verse poetry is.
No worries at all!
BE POLITE
I am amazed why some people are talking very loudly,
With their women’s, their children’s and their dependence,
Even though, we all know that sweet fruits and beautiful flowers
Will grow with rain and sun not with thunder and fire!

Great video! I just read a book entirely of free verse poetry and I was inspired to write my own but wasn't sure where to start so thank you!
You’re welcome! Have fun writing 😁
Thanks for the insight 👍..I'm tryna get into poetry very helpful
This is really good. I feel too beginner to fully understand the details. So what is the difference between a free verse poem and a prose?
Prose = short stories, novels, scripts, and novellas. Poetry can be prose though, like where novels are written in poetic form.
Thank you -- lot of my doubts and thoughts cleared eloquently
You're welcome!
So I guess I'm a verse poet I didn't know there was a difference interesting I learn something new
And that would consist of my raps too right
I'm guessing it's the same thing I don't know lolz but they're stanzas are different so is that free or is that verse they do rhyme
It sounds like free verse unless you’ve chosen to write a haiku, limerick, etc. those are poems that aren’t free verse because you have to follow strict rules.
Great video very insightful thank you for sharing !
This was honestly super helpful! I'm trying to write a poem about my life and who i used to be. This helped me stop over-thinking lol
So glad it helped you!
Great video! I've been wanting to get more into poetry, and watching you talk about it, along with reading your poms really got me into the mood. Also, I liked your poems by the way. I think my favorite was the one that started with "Hold out your cigarette".
Thank you so much! Put on some inspiring music and go for it, I say :P lol
You deserve subscriber in 200M+ for the dedication in work Mrs.. Hats off 😄
Haha thank you! That'd be a nice surprise after all these years on TH-cam.
To much rhyming takes away from my story I think. Instead of saying what I really want to I find myself getting distracted by trying to find rhyming words instead, that's why I enjoy free verse much more.

Agreed...

Free verse is not free at all in fact
Formless, allowing the words to come
Step aside
Thanks can you release ur poetry
My links are in the description 😁
what the difference between prose and free verse ?
Also my qus.
I think rhythm is most important in any poetry
Sorry, I just saw this! Free verse doesn’t have rules you must follow for it to be considered a poem. For example, a haiku, limerick, etc. you must follow certain rules or else they won’t be considered that type of poem.
I want to get my writing theme online just like you with my own channel
Go for it! And have fun 🤩
Thanks so much for this video!
You're very welcome!
Your "Foggy" poem I like.
Thank you!
I’m gonna b totally honest.. I didn’t follow much of what you said. It just belongs to me it’s like a second language
Thank you!!!!❤
You’re welcome! ☺️
Interesting. Poetry is an itch!
yesterday i found out that i have 15 poems due today and idek how to write one lol
Thanks for this info! Got an assignment due in 2 days and this really helps lol 😂
Oh yay! So glad it’s helping you through your creative assignment.
Thank you
You're welcome!
So basically I can just write a few verses about something and call it a poem?
You can write whatever and however you want but that doesn’t automatically people will read it/like it OR call it poetry. It’s subjective!
O, you cannot lol that is because there is no poem free of format
Super helpful
Glad it helped!
Lana del Rey is my queen
QUEEN LANA!
Who is your fave poet?
I don't have a favorite modern poet, but I love Shakespeare's sonnets.
Thank you. The sound is far too quiet. Some great tips though.
It’s from over four years ago. Nothing I can do about it. You can turn it up on your end and that’s about it.
Brain hurty
I feel you there.
So anything is poetry? Did I just write a poem? Still I roam.
Sure, though I’m sure readers might disagree 🤣
Free verse is not free at all
@@Zheugma thanks for watching even if you disagree!
@@NicolesBookishNook its great 🤣 it was just a little comment, but hour work is great ❤️
