Question

read this excerpt from the poem \monets waterlilies\ by robert hayden. here space and time exist in light the eye like the eye of faith believes. the seen, the known dissolve in iridescence, become illusive flesh of light that was not, was, forever is. o light beheld as through refracting tears. here is the aura of that world each of us has lost. here is the shadow of its joy. what is the best evidence that this poem is written in free verse? it has two stanzas. it has no set meter. it uses alliteration. it has no repeating words.

Explanation:

Free verse poetry is defined by the absence of a consistent rhythmic pattern (set meter). The other options are not defining features: stanzas can exist in formal verse, alliteration is a literary device used across poetry types, and repeating words are not a requirement for non-free verse.

Answer:

It has no set meter.
