MY LAST THOUGHT redone

My last thought
When I last saw her I was happy
She said she would be fine.
She will see me later that day “don’t worry my sweet.”

But look what happened.
Look what you did,
You made a hole in my heart.

I like that. It's really good but maybe you should try to make it rhyme.

Not all poems ryme.

I agree. Free verse is my favorite kind of poem, especially from students. Sometimes we try to make things rhyme and it ends up sounding "forced."
Example:
The cat
sat
on the mat
waiting for
a fat
rat.
GW, maybe you can explain the bassis for this poem in this comment area.

sure... It was written by me a few years after my mothers death. so i felt that free verse would be better because it wasnt a happy poem. i feel that free verse allows more emotion.
