Answer 2

Answer:

Poems are mostly written in lines and stanzas but it doesn't necessarily have a specific structure as such.

Explanation:

Structuring of a poem can be in multiple ways and there are no hard and fast rules. Though it is written in lines and stanzas, aside from that, there is no definite rule for writing a poem. Depending on the type of poem you are planning to write, it is required to try to follow the characteristics of the certain genre. For e.g, a sonnet is a fourteen line poem while an epic will deal with heroes, the free verse will be written in the author's own way, how long the lines will be or what shape it will take etc all depending on the writer. In short, the length of the line, the breaks, arrangement, rhythm or speed all depend on the content of the poem, and what it is about. Structure of a poem will all vary, depending on the type of poem written. So, to conclude, there is just no particular solution for writing a poem. It can be written in whatever way the writer wishes to, except that depending on the type of poetry s/he decides to write, it will have to follow the corresponding genre of that poetry.
