Examples of Free Verse can be found in the writing of Walt Whitman.

"Song of Myself"
excerpt from the poem by Walt Whitman

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loaf and invite my soul,
I lean and loaf at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
