Freeverse is a kind of poetry that is not restricted by specific patterns of meter, measured lines, strict rhyming patterns. It CAN still include quite a few literary devices like imagery, personification, sound devices, metaphor, figurative language, repetition, enjambment, etc.
Freeverse is not just words on a page. It is free from formal metrical design, but not from ANY design or craft. You are probably at this point most familiar with freeverse, so that's why we're starting here.
Key Poetry Vocabulary you NEED TO KNOW:
Freeverse.
Enjambment.
Tone.
Voice.
Diction.
Internal monologues are like plays or 1st person POV short stories, but can include more than these forms. You will create your own internal monologue poem today. You will need a character (not necessarily YOU) and give that character an opinion/attitude or feeling about a dramatic situation.
Things to note: DO NOT WRITE IN FRAGMENTS. Poetry or verse uses SENTENCE structure, just like prose. At this point, do not omit or leave out punctuation. Your sentences should be broken into LINES. LINES should be broken into STANZAS.
