Ghostlady:
Solution to my assignment:
1.What makes free verse different from all other styles of poetry?
Answer:
a. free verse does not have a set structure,its up to the writer to make the poem and make up the rules for each poem.
b. Because of lack of pre determined form,free verse poems have the potential to take truly unique shapes.
c. The poet possesses more license to express,and has more control over the development of the poem.
d. It allows for a more spontaneous and individualized product.

2.what is a stanza in poetry?
Answer:
In poetry,a stanza is a grouped set of lines within a poem,usually set off from other stanzas by a blank line or different indentation.
It can also be defined as a division of a poem created by arranging the lines into a unit,often repeated in the same pattern of meter and rhyme through out the poem. The stanzas within a poem are separated by blank lines.

3.Explain how a stanza arrangement will make your poem better?
Answer:
Stanzas are used in poetry for structure. Unlike prose writing which is written in sentences and paragraphs,poems are written in lines and stanzas. choosing how to arrange those lines is part of the craft of poem writing. poets consider how to situate words,lines and spaces in order to create rhythm and tempo. These poetic devices help to create a mood which supports the theme of the poem.

4.Write a poem in free verse on free verse with title "free verse".
Answer:
FREE VERSE
Life is like a free verse,
Everyone living as they please,
Some pleasing there parents,
Some pleasing friends.

Just as a free verse has no rhythm and structure.
Life has no need for scripts.
You live your life,just as it comes at you.
And try to please yourself.

In a free verse,the poet is in control.
As we are in control of our life.
We have a choice to be a success or a failure.
And a choice to choose between heaven or hell.

But sometimes I don't like the free verse.
Cause I need some type of structure and rhythm.
Like the couplet,the ballad and the haiku.
Cause Life also needs balance.

SAVIOUR

all alone in this world.
life seems so unfair.
what could be the needed word?
to take away this feeling of fear.

i heard of the one saves.
he is called the saviour of the world.
i await him amidst all the chaos.
and his visitation was swift.

what a turnaround .
i now experience the peace of God.
who sent his only begotten son.
to die for my sin.

life is like i imagined.
sweet and loving.
am living my dreams.
thank you Lord for saving me.

WORDS

it can be a life giver.
or even a destroyer.
it can either lift us.
or break us.
whatever it is,we cant do without it.
we use it to worship.
we also use it to curse.
it can be a deadly weapon.
even more deadly than a pistol.
God used it to speak life.
we can still use it today.
God has given us the word.
we just have to speak it.
the most important part of our life,
is ruled by the words we speak...
