Answer:

The type of verse in Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing" and in Langston Hughes's "I, Too" is free verse.

Step-by-step explanation:

These two pieces of work are examples of free verse. This is a moderns way of poetry which doesn't follow the traditional pattern in its composition, it doesn't have a structured pattern or rhyme, it doesn't follow a specific iambic or meter, this kind of poetry is written following the sound and structure of natural speech.
