Question 14 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC
“Harlem” has some rhyming lines, such as “sun” and “run,” and “load” and “explode,” but the rhymes do not follow a consistent pattern throughout the poem. Its lines also do not keep a regular ten-syllable iambic rhythm. The poem is therefore best described as free verse, rather than blank verse or rhyming couplets.
