Directions:
Today we are going to look at two different types of poems:
- Poems with Rhyme Schemes: A poem with a rhyme scheme follows a specific pattern of rhymes.
- Poems that are Free Verse: A poem that would be considered free verse is free from the usual rules of poetry. It might have rhymes but does not have to. It can also be organized in any manner that the poet selects.
