Free Verse#3: Free Verse

There’s something
Enticing
About writing a paragraph
That isn’t a paragraph.
Something
Freeing
About having no meter,
No rhyme,
No boundaries.

When you speak it
There are awkward
Spaces,
Lines that don’t
Quite match up.
But somehow,
They work,
In the greater scheme of things.
Perhaps, though,
Reading it is easier
Than speaking.

It’s not quite poetry
Not quite essay.
But it can be a story.
Anything can be a story
If you want it to.
Or,
It can be like this.
Fully without any relevance
To anything.
Unless you want it to be.

That’s free verse.
It’s free
Verse.
It doesn’t cost anything.
Except maybe
A few minutes of your time.
To read it.
