You need to have a basic idea of what your poem is going to be about; it needs some topic to be written off of, right?
Once you have an idea of what your topic is going to be, say your favorite season or your favorite pair of blue jeans (both of which I had to write free verse poems about for my freshman poetry), you need to determine what components will be in your poem in order for it to be free verse, but also have structure. A free verse poem with structure could have a specific type of meter, such as Iambic Pentameter or Trochaic Tetrameter. A free verse poem can also contain other components such as alliteration (consonant rhymes), assonance (vowel rhymes), personification (giving human characteristics to an inanimate object), or onomatopoeia (writing out a word that describes exactly what a sound sounds like, such as Crash! or Splat! or Boom!). In the poem "Silver" by Walter de la Mare, "Slowly, silently, now the moon/Walks the night in her silver shoon" is an example of personification, since the moon can't walk as humans can.
Use words and phrases to set a tone for your reader. In the poem "Silver" the poet uses soothing phrases such as "moveless fish" and "Doves in a silver-feathered sleep."
Once you've got all that information, writing a free verse shouldn't be as hard as before!
