Give him a chance to venture to the music which he listens, however measured or far away." It might take you a while to "hear your own drummer," yet free verse can be an extraordinary approach to "get things off your chest" and express what you truly feel.

"Hector the Collector" by Shel Silverstein Hector the Collector Collected bits of string, Collected dolls with broken heads And corroded chimes that would not ring. Pieces out of picture riddles, Bent-up nails and frozen yogurt sticks, Twists of wires, exhausted tires, Paper packs and broken blocks. Old chipped vases, half shoelaces, Gatlin' firearms that wouldn't shoot, Leaky water crafts that wouldn't coast And ceased up horns that wouldn't toot. Spread blades that had no handles, Copper keys that fit no locks, Rings that were too little for fingers, Dried-up leaves and fixed up socks. Exhausted belts that had no clasps, 'Lectric trains that had no tracks, Airplane models, broken containers, Three-legged seats and glasses with splits. Hector the Collector Loved these things with all his soul‹ Loved them more than sparkling jewels, Loved them more than glistenin' gold. Hector called to every one of the general population, "Come and share my fortune trunk!" And all the senseless blind individuals Came and looked...and called it garbage.
