Subject: Free Verse

Free verse poetry can go two ways:

1. The typical, stereotyped teenager way:
"he broke up w/ me cuz i
was not good enuff for him
to luv me like i wanted 2 b luvd" stuff, that generally is something people spit out to get it off their chest (not necessarily a bad thing, mind), or write to get attention (ooer!), then we have...

2. The 'professional' poet, or basically someone who isn't a complete amatuer, and writes poetry to prove some sort of point, whether to themselves to someone else:
"My love broke my heart
now my soul sings in rage".

Kind of off-topic, but that's how I see free verse. A good chunk of it is gonna be about romance, but that doesn't make it all bad.
