Question

Read the descriptions of rhyme schemes below.

Free verse: poetry that does not use a consistent rhyme scheme
Iambic pentameter: a poetic rhyme scheme in which each rhyming line has ten syllables
Blank verse: poetry that uses unrhymed iambic pentameter
Rhyming couplets: a series of two consecutive lines that rhyme in a poem

Based on the descriptions, what rhyme scheme does the poem "Harlem" use?

Answer 1

Answer: Free Verse

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem doesn't fit Iambic pentameter because each line is not ten syllables so it is not Iambic pentameter or Blank Verse

The poem isn't Rhyming Couplets because consecutive lines don't rhyme

There is no set rhyme scheme so the answer is Free Verse
