π Exploring Free Verse
Free verse poetry breaks the rulesβno fixed rhyme, no set rhythm, just words flowing like thought and emotion. It allows poets to experiment with language, form, and meaning in a deeply personal way.
The wind moves, restless, singingβ
its voice tangled in the trees,
a fleeting song carried beyond sight.
Shadows stretch beneath a moonless sky,
the tide hums a quiet rhythm,
waves carving stories into silent stone.
The night listens, breathes,
pauses in the hush before dawn,
where dreams scatter like drifting leaves.
