A free verse poem is a poetic form that avoids using
fixed patterns of meter. Free verse can avoid rhymes, but still make use of other poetic techniques such as imagery and metaphor, as well as sound devices such as assonance and alliteration.
There are no rules on the length of the poem. The poet can choose the length of the lines and the poem. To create emphasis on a word, some poets may put this word on its own line.
Poets will use descriptive language in order to create an image in the readers head. The poet will show the reader the image instead of telling, creating an impression on the reader. Free verse poems are a way for poets to convey a message or emotion.

Longer words with soft sounds cause the reader to slow down. Use them when you want to show pace, laziness or rest.
Describe your subject with language that shows not tells
Ex. Instead of writing "We had so much fun today" write "They wore smiles all the way home".
This sentence allows us to visualize how much fun they had without being told.
In order to get the message across without a lot of telling, lyrical phrases can be used to capture images, convey meaning or emotions.
Short words with sharp consonants cause the reader to stop-and-go in a choppy rhythm.
Ex. Cut, bash, stop, kick, lick, bite, jump.
The use of these short words can help display the emotion of fear, excitement, anger or anything that can make your heart beat quickly.
