FREE VERSE
Poetry that does not contain a set pattern or rhythmic quantity and does not
follow a specific rhyme scheme. Free verse is a reaction to conventional
poetic forms championed by earlier, more formal literary movements.
Whitman and Dickinson did much to popularize free verse in American
poetry in the middle of the 19th century.
