In the dandelion patches

Free Verse:
Litany
It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
That I am the sound of the rain on the roof.
I also happen to be the shooting star,
the evening paper blowing down an alley
and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table.
-Billy Collins
Free verse is a kind of poem written without rhythm, rhymes, or specific structure.
Tonight the moon is a cracker,
with a bite out of it
floating in the night,
and in a week or so
according to the calendar
it will probably look
like a silver football,
and nine, maybe ten days ago
it reminded me of a thin bright claw.

A simile is a poetic comparison that uses the words "like" or "as."
A ruby red as blood
A blackbird black as coal
The sunset is as pretty as heaven
The water sparkled like a thousand diamonds

Lottie is a dog
She is so sweet
She sleeps like a log
But will wake up to eat
Lottie is my puppy
she likes to slumber all day
Sometimes she watches Bubble guppies
when we are away
Friends of Lottie
are also cute
one of them is Dottie
Oh, no! She played too long today, I hope she won't puke!
Lottie, Lottie, oh, so sloppy,
How are your ears so floppy?
Stanzas, Rhyming Couplets, and Rhyme schemes.
