He became overwhelmed by the day and now that there was nobody there to witness, he gave in to the pain that any child in his situation would've given in to way earlier. His pride made him hold back the tears until no one would witness his pain. <span />
Answer: form.
Poetic form can be understood as the physical structure of the poem. Characteristics such as the length of the lines, its theme and the structure of the rhymes are taken into account when determining a poem's form. The word "form" is normally only used for very familiar patterns.
Some examples of common forms are couplets, haikus, ballads, odes, epics, epigrams and sonnets.
