Question

read the poem monets waterllies by robert hayden. today as the news from saima and saigon poisons the air like fallout, i come again to see the serene, great picture that i love 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 evidence supports the conclusion that the poem is written in free verse? select two options. there are three stanzas. there is no rhyme scheme. the lines are unequal in length. there is a regular rhyme scheme. there is a pattern of stressed syllables.

Explanation:

Free - verse poetry has no regular rhyme scheme and the lines can be of unequal length. The number of stanzas does not determine if a poem is free - verse. A regular rhyme scheme and a pattern of stressed syllables are characteristics of more structured forms of poetry, not free - verse.

Answer:

B. There is no rhyme scheme.
C. The lines are unequal in length.
