What is an example of verse poetry?

is a verse composed of a variable, usually unrhymed lines having no fixed metrical pattern. Example:My last night as a full-time child

I didn't want to sleep, for fear of

Waking up in a rustle of too-crisp sheets

And a creak of inadequate bedsprings

With a lightly snoring virtual stranger eight feet away.

And also I didn't want it to be tomorrow,

Because then it would be time to do what

I've denied for three weeks of subsistence

And oblivion--ignoring is bliss.

And I saw everything I never did

Lying around me, pieces and steps of the

Success I never got, reminders that

Whatever I planned, I never got far.

But in the middle of these broken promises

To myself, I could see for the first time

That I have not been broken.

And I must keep myself, all that is real,

As daybreak does, and nightfall.

I exist to others, but all I need is me.

I will be the last promise, when all is said

And kept.
