Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - The poem uses free-verse structure.

Explanation:

If you take a look at the poem, you will see the following:

- it does not follow a rhyme scheme: nothing rhymes in the poem

- it is not a sonnet: there are no 14 lines

- it does not follow a fixed pattern of meter: some lines are longer, some are shorter

What is true is that this is a free-verse poem, which means that it doesn't follow any strict rules. Just take a look at the structure:

From the tower window

the moon

draws a silver maple’s shadow

across a spangled lawn;

                                 horses

rear, manes lashing the air,

front legs floating.
