Question

Predict what will likely happen to a poet's voice when changing from a free verse format to a controlled

Answer 1

Answer:

The voice will become controlled and distant because there are rules to follow.

Explanation:

As the name suggests, the free verse format is where the poem does not have any specific meter form, rhyme, style in it. In simple words, this type of poem has no limitations on how it is written or composed.

On the other hand, controlled forms such as the sonnet are poetry forms where there are certain rules to be followed like specific line numbers, certain rhyme schemes, and follow a certain pattern of meter forms, etc.

So, if a poet's voice is to be changed from a free verse to a controlled form such as the sonnet, the voice will become more controlled and deviate from the free form. It will be more distant as there are certain rules that the poet has to follow.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
