Summary:

• The verse is another term for a poem. A free verse poem is a poem that does not follow the traditional poetry rules. A free verse poem doesn't need to have rhymes, rhythms, or follow a specific length for lines or stanzas. 

• Writing poetry is a creative process and each poet talks about the world in a different way. Nature is everywhere and offers an endless supply of inspiration.

• Choose a familiar setting. Example: a mountain, forest, city, desert, or pond. 

• Think about the wildlife you might find there. Example: a tree or plant, an animal, a bird, or an insect.

• Decide on the season or the time of day or night.
