How is free verse different from formal verse?


It only rhymes every other line and is metered in a specific way.

It has irregular meter and line length and sounds like natural speech.

It does not employ punctuation marks or other grammatical devices.

It uses slang words and phrases rather than formal English.

Free verse poetry differs from formal verse in that with free verse the writer is not constricted by rules of length, stanza and rhyming. Whereas in formal verse there are certain rules as stated earlier that must be adhered to when writing poetry such as Haiku or Sonnets. Therefore, the answer would be the second option (It has irregular meter and line length and sounds like natural speech).

Hope this helps :)
