Walt Whitman’s "Song of Myself"

Question 2 • CREDIT RE-SEAT MNPS English Language Arts III IC S1 26-27

What makes “Song of Myself” free verse?

Answer
A
It was given away at no charge.
B
It is influenced by older epic poetry.
C
It is unrhymed but follows European meter.
D
It follows no set meter or rhyme.

Explanation

Free verse does not follow a regular pattern of meter or rhyme. “Song of Myself” uses rhythms and line lengths that vary rather than a fixed poetic scheme, so the correct choice is “It follows no set meter or rhyme.” Choice C describes poetry that lacks rhyme but still follows a meter, which is not free verse.
