I buried my father in my heart. Now he grows in me, my strange son, my little root who won’t drink milk, little pale foot sunk in unheard-of night, little clock spring newly wet in the fire, little grape, parent to the future wine, a son the fruit of his own son, little father I ransom with my life.

Answer:

The structure that is used in this excerpt from the poem “Little Father” is free verse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem "Little Father" by Li-Young Lee is a free verse poem. Free verse is a literary device that doesn't follow the limitations of meter or rhythm, then free verse poems don't rhyme and they don't follow the fixed meters in the number of iambs, the poet is absolutely free to give it the length that they desire as well as the inconstant rhythm and meter.
