Read this excerpt from the poem "Monet’s ‘Waterlilies’” by Robert Hayden.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The poem is written in free verse because it does not follow an exact rhyme scheme. Such pattern can only be found when there is a specific set of meter that gives the rhythm of the lines. For example, in the second stanza above, the words <em>"tears,"</em> <em>"lost" </em>and <em>"words" </em><u>do not rhyme at all.</u> So, there is <u>no pattern here.</u>

Explanation:

A "free verse" is considered a <em>more modern type of writing a poem</em>. It is also regarded as an "open form verse." It does not follow a regular metrical form, therefore, <u>it doesn't follow an organized rhythmic pattern</u>. It also uses a conversational way, which seems like the poem is talking to the reader.

Examples of free verse poems are: <em>"The First Time We Kissed" </em>(Kelly Roper), <em>"After the Sea-Ship"</em> (Walt Whitman) and<em> "Free Verse"</em> (Robert Graves).
