II.4. Free verse

Free poetry without form and rhythm is a common misunderstanding. In fact, it has both. Indeed, although the rhythm of free poetry is not based on meter, rhyme, knot pattern, there are still rhythms due to word sequence, word sequence, grammar, grammatical structure repetition. Printed pages or other traditional techniques. For example, in excerpts from poetry by Walt Whitman, we can not establish a normal abstraction model, but there is still a strong rhythm feeling.

Likewise, there is no formal principle of generalization, but free poetry has no format. Instead, each poem has a unique shape. Therefore, from the poet's point of view, writing free poetry is not easy. It allows you not to be limited by the traditional form, but requires a new form for each poem

Free poetry is a characteristic form of contemporary poetry. However, it is not a completely new phenomenon. Biblical poetry is widely used in this format, and along with the early English translation of the Bible (finally the King James version of 1611), the format was also introduced in English poetry. For example, the James King version of the Bible Psalms and Solomon's Song is a free translation.

It can not be said that it has become a general form of English poetry just after the introduction of free poetry. However, there are some remarkable examples derived directly from the Bible, such as Christopher Smart's 18th century poetry. Modern life of free poems started in the mid-19th century with American poet Walt Whitman. Under the influence of Whitman, French young poets (including Arthur Rambo and Jules Lafoghe) use free poetry to resist strict French poetry norms and advertise this form globally did. . In France, the format was given a widely used name, free poetry, and was translated into English as a "free poetry".

In the 20th century, free poetry became a very influential form in British poetry. T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Carl Sandburg, and William Carlos Williams use it to obtain various effects.

The poets explained that free verse is not entirely free. Free poetry shows some elements of shape. Most liberal poeties keep naturally the practice of line of poetry in a sense in a sense at least with writing expression, while maintaining a potential contact level. TS Eliot wrote that Donald Hall said that "the form of free poetry is as binding and liberal as the form of Rondo," TS wrote wrote: "For those who want to do a good job, It is not free. "

Unfortunately, I accidently believe that many of today's ambitious poets (in fact few of the paid experts) are starting to use poetry opposition to free verses. Free poetry should not be repeated, but it is not where you expect them, but should have at least some aesthetically fun melodies and rhythm patterns, even rhymes. Personally, shackle is boring, there is no poetry or art but I do not like free poetry.

Free poetry has patterns and fields. The mode of inner sound, the selection of exact words, and the effect of association give the beauty of free poetry. As free picture poetry becomes disciplined, as position is acquired as a form of legal poetry. However, Herbert Reed pointed out that "the image of Ezra Pound has raised its musical structure to some extent and is not free to a certain extent." Yvor Winters is not bound by a traditional boundary and expresses it as "an attempt to expand experience by establishing" abnormal "practices." Poets have more expressive licenses and can better control the development of poetry. This will enable more natural and personalized poetry products.

Psalm 23, which closely resembles other poetry in the Bible and Solomon's song, is one of the earliest known examples of free poetry, but the point that free poetry differs from other forms of poetry What is ...? Free poetry is based on the absence of rhythm and the lack of regular rice. So, Psalm 23 may not have the rhyme and rhythm of other poems you read, but it is still poetry. You might want to know that "If there are no rhymes or meters in free poetry, how is it different from prosodic, ordinary written words or spoken words?" 'First of all, free poems follow traditional poetry because of intentional line breaks. These lines are usually irregular and very short, at least allowing free poetry to be the appearance of poetry.
