One way in which Emily Dickinson's poems are different from Walt Whitman's is that:
<em>b. She uses rhyme, but he does not. </em>
Explanation:
<em><u>Dickinson is known for using common meter in her poems</u></em>. Common meter is characterized by alternating eight-syllable and six-syllable lines, and within each line the metrical feet is the "iamb" (unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable). <u><em>Whitman's poems, on the other hand, are known for using free verse</em></u>. Free verse is a form of poetry in which no particular rhyme scheme or rhythm is followed. The poet is able to write whatever he or she wants without the constraint of poetical rules. This poets often use literary devices in order to convey an idea but no particular structure is followed.
