Freestyle Poetry
What is a freestyle poetry? Nonmetrical, non-rhyming lines that closely follow the natural rhythms of speech. A regular pattern of sound or rhythm may emerge in free-verse lines, but the poet does not adhere to a metrical plan in their composition.
It has no defined meter, no consistent rhyme scheme, and no specified length or formal requirements. A free verse poem, also known as a vers libre, is a poem that lacks all of the above. It has no defined meter, no consistent rhyme scheme, and no specified length or formal requirements.

Dramatic poetry example
Leave
Train-wrecks help you avoid future disasters
It is only after you have loved the wrong person
That you truly see who you are
Like a second draft, your life, this time you will word it better
Not even the most divine looking statue will fool you
Leave; stronger, smarter, wiser
Your life now belongs to two people
The person you used to be and the person you have become
Do not ever look back, ever
For you left for good reason
The inexorability of life will show you
What matters is the essence of you
Your home will forever be your heart
In your heart
Pour your sorrows into words so that you can share it with others
Cry oceans of tears, so long as it gets it out of you
Be; smarter, stronger, wiser
Leave while you can
Because he who has never valued you does not deserve
Your pain, your time, and your body
Do not go back,
For the only true failure is the failure to evolve
Brave, be brave
Enough to believe in yourself, flirt with your options
Do not allow yourself to be weak
For it is a perpetual ritual
No one is to blame
Move on; wiser, stronger, smarter

Narrative poetry example
Bitter End
It is time
The damage is done
Go on, set yourself free now
You are untied
The ropes are undone
The pain is still here, I know
And it may never leave
But you know I cannot stay
I can only live my way
Sisters that part ways
Split the lineage
The wheel spins, siblings go
Never to cross paths again
You think heaven awaits
I know all we get is this place
The choices made
The end is here
I wish you well
The roads are not clear, but I need peace
I know who I am, and what I believe
I will make friends
Fill the void
Have children
Build a house
Write a book
Make it taste less sour
I am going to lie to mama
When she asks about you, I’ll tell her we still talk
I will make a joke, go for a walk
Make tea
Fill the void
I will watch the sunset
And cry
I will kiss my husband
Eat my feelings
Fill the void
Bathe in my sorrows
Soak in my memories
Make it taste less bitter
For this is the end.
Lyric poetry example
Crossroad
Perseverance over perfection
Blue over black
Passion over adoration
Prudence over spontaneity
Can one have it all?
You either buy the bread or keep the money
My stomach aches and talks to me
My feet hurt and remind me I need new shoes
I have a choice
I can do anything
But Cronus is an unstoppable god and an unforgiving one too
Tick- Tock
Should I drown or should I die of thirst?
Humankind strongest emotion smothers me
The agony of doubt puts my physical health in danger
I am in love
Neither the bread nor the money
What has love got to do with it anyway?
I wash off my insecurities in the river
I use the money to buy a pair of running shoes
And I chase the best version of me,
Somewhere I can be free
