What is free verse? How can someone write a poem without rhyming? Why would they do something like that?!

Free verse is 'A poetic form divided into lines of no particular length or meter, without a rhyme scheme.' - Wikipedia.

However, free verse can optionally contain forms of structure, such as repetition, occasional rhyme and conversation-like meter. The joy of reading free verse lies in finding the connections and discovering the underlying structures and meter employed by the poet.

luminous

i just want to be closer to you
as we're waking up

we kiss the air
we can make amends

a melody so sweet
the heart of the matter
a beautiful light

time is passing
out of sight, out of mind

you take my hand
i'm in your arms

our souls ignited
luminous

How do you feel now, having read the poem?

Can you picture the scene, and the emotion in these lines?
