Anyone can be a poet.
Democracy is a wonderful thing, but it comes with responsibilities. So and poetically, despite modern trailblazers like Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson, who made his art simple, more natural. and spontaneous, rather than the formalistic work of his predecessors, especially Chaucer, Shakespeare and Keat. The word “free verse” has much to do with the delusion that everyone allows their own poetic thought or inspiration to pass by. The opinion I find is that if one falls into a short story or a thought novel. that someone will try to display poetic writing.
First, the book of verse is not “poetry without rules.” A verse book has some basic rules to follow that help us create music and rhythm. As long as the “free verse” achieves rhythm, it will be accepted as poetry. No music, or no stanza, or no meter – may suggest that we speak to others to write rather than poetry. The word “verse” should be the key to understanding the writing. Moreover, the word “verse” has all the meanings “poetic; lines of words usually repeated with repeated stress” (REFERENCE: The World Book Dictionary, ed. Clarence L. Barnhart).
“Free verse” does not mean poetry that does not rhyme. The absence of rhyme is definitely not what distinguishes Free Verse. Please forget, for the purposes of this discussion, he accepts the issue of rhyme in poetry, either the internal rhyme within the lines, or the more familiar end-rhymes. In Latin it is pronounced “pronounced” or “prophet/”. Every basic study of language learning is hinted at there are elaborate and inexplicable patterns of syllables in languages, especially English. Otherwise, we speak in a tone, monotone or flat. perhaps similar to some remote eastern languages. When we consider how syllables and their “accents” create all manner of sounds and feelings, we begin to speak of syllables as “feet,” such as the “feet iambus,” which many readers read. meeting with William Shakespeare.
As far as poetry is concerned, therefore, “free verse” means the absence of a precise scan, that is, a less than precise attention to the diction, which admits a certain series of accents or “feet” per line. These accents are combined with the received pronunciation, so that a certain music or rhythm is carried out, arranged in detail by the poet.
Did you know that tetrameter or four beats per line, as in folk poetry and song, are perhaps easier to imitate or sing than Shakespeare’s work? Personally, the challenge was not those multi-syllabic words where stress or stress is obvious, but monosyllables that can be either stressed or unstressed. So we know that “compare” has the stress on the second syllable, not “com”. But I have a greater difficulty in saying whether I, “Me,” “Yes,” “Why,” “Much” have prosody or not. (Although the syllable “BASEBALL” is either highlighted or accented, which actually consists of two compound words , BASEBALL.) Now Emily Dickinson has achieved her success with more serious themes and poems that “disturbed” the tetrameter commonly used in popular music, writing and talking about death, loss and sacrifices in her poems. Geoffrey Chaucer imitated the great poets of Europe and used four beats (or four feet) per line more than the common poets; and Shakespeare followed suit.
Most people are familiar with Shakespeare’s use of “Iambic Pentameter.” This meter or combination of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line (also stressed and unstressed syllables) is similar to “official” or formal English. Now the word “accent” is referred to its most familiar meaning, but only insofar as foreign stress tends to indicate that newcomers to our parts mark syllables or accents differently than native speakers do. Whether one says “NU-TRIT-ION” or “NU-TRITION” is a function of where one grew up, who one went to school with, and whether the pronunciation is proper or not. In iambic pentameter, Shakespeare begins each line with the syllable “expressed” followed by the syllable “expressed”, and so on. a total of five pairs in each line. The iambic pentameter in Shakespearean-sonnet has lines with ten syllables (total) expressed in a specific composition (symbolized by – ) and accented with ten syllables, thus: – / – / – / – / – / (Think of the sound that begins, “Not to the marriage of true love” or “I will compare you to a summer day?
Shakespeare and other well-known poets are more popular and appreciated because most of what they wrote had a specific signature or meter. If our work lacks meter or rhythm, we don’t stop making songs. Also, the book needs a verse meter, or syllables expressed by a precise combination of enunciation and enunciation. There are three combinations of six syllables (except for “iambo” versus “troche”, where troche is composed by joining stressed and relaxed syllables in the order “/-“) up to six feet. Shakespeare remained happy with five feet (or five pairs of paces and underlined syllables per line). But remember also that Shakespeare changed from pentameter to fewer than five pairs of “feet” to imitate the lower speech (as with PUCK in A MIDDLE NIGHT) and contrast this with a lower type of speech , while the upper classes (royalty) almost always already speak in pentameter.
I have attempted a poem in free verse, albeit in a formal form that you will recognize. I can’t be credited with faithful iambic pentameter, but it’s still like a poem that I’ve followed other conventions (such as meter, rhythm, alliteration, and metaphor, to name the most frequent, discussed below);
FORM, FAITH AND FREE VERSE
Where have all the European sounds gone?
What is the replacement of the discipline of pentameter?
What nights, years with Dickinson;
Lyricus had gone, the Italians had gone;
the eighth; sestets couplet after couplet
I gave up to fake silence
The heart before the body of the poem, the brain
No worries about this and CNN
There is no reverie among the peasants, you haters
It was a thread of hope in the elegy
This is new life in the codes
Aemilia I restrain myself;
She, a nun of Amherst, broke the convention;
We worship the law by faith and fiction.

Finally, please remember that “No meter means no poetry” and “Free verse” is not the same as “something”.
