4.7 "Show, Don't Tell" and Free Verse

Your Turn

In this lesson, you've learned:

• free verse poems do not have a specific structure.
• free verse poems do not rhyme.
• punctuation guides how a free verse poem is read, rather than lines.
• imagery and showing words create powerful "showing" images.

Now, it is your turn to use these skills in a free verse poem of your own. As you go through the remainder of this online lesson, work in your Learning Guide to complete your poetry writing task.
