Question 7 • *KCPS English Language Arts 11 (2027)

Which characteristic makes "Song of Myself" a free verse poem?

Answer
A
the use of images from nature and everyday life
B
the absence of a consistent rhythmic structure
C
the presence of a definite voice
D
the presence of a strong theme

Explanation

Free verse does not follow a consistent pattern of meter or rhythm. “Song of Myself” uses a flexible rhythmic structure rather than a regular, repeating beat, so the absence of consistent rhythm makes it a free verse poem. Nature imagery, a strong theme, and a definite voice can appear in poems of many forms.
