As a poet who prefers writing in free verse, I find that the best way to write free style is to simply write what comes to mind, or a single stream of consciousness, and keep writing until you have what you wanted to write!. I find that my best poetry is when I simply just wrote a poem on a piece of paper!. As far as I know, there is no Exact rhythm!.!.!.you basically make up your own rhythm as you go along!. A great example of this would be the poem "Howl", by Allen Ginsberg!. You could google it and you'll be able to read the entire thing online!. Hope this helps! Peace!Www@QuestionHome@Com

this is the start to a piece I'm working on:
I had a vision in the night
Of people in misery but more wasn't right
the world was sick, filled with violence and hatred
they were forced to be slick and trick
even to those which they were related!.
I know it needs a lot of work but It's one way to go if your writing free verse!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
