Question

Which statement describes a major difference between a traditional poem and a free verse poem?

Answer 1

Answer:

A traditional poem may contain regular meter and rhyme scheme, but a free verse poem does not contain these elements.

Explanation:

A traditional poem is the type of poetry that contains a certain rhyme scheme and adheres to a specific structure. This means that it follows a particular meter, pattern, or 'rule' of writing poetry.

On the other hand, a free verse, as the name suggests, is a free form of writing poetry where the author writes the poem however he/she wants. There is no specific pattern or scheme to be followed though the use of figurative languages may still be employed.

Thus, the statement that describes the major difference between the two is the second option.
