There are also poems that do not have any form of structure, rhyme or rule. They contain the words that the poet wrote down in an order she or he preferred: a free verse poem or free style poem.
Free verse poems are poems that do not have specific instructions. For this type of poems there are no rules. Would you like a poem with 2 words, 20 sentences, long sentences? It doesn't matter. As the writer/poem you decide the structure of your own poem. Doesn't that feel good. You can write what you want. So, go ahead and write.
Example
Vacation
Oh, how I long for the vacation
To go the beach
And feel the breeze
Walking in the sand
Oh Vacation
What goes through your mind now? Why not write it down?
