Question

Unlike the more modern open form poetry, closed form poems have a definable and describable

form to each, depending on the kind closed form poem, such as the sonnet, the sestina, the
villanelle, or other structured formats.
A.True
B.False

Answer 1

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is true.

There are two main forms of poetry: open and closed.

Closed form poems are poems that follow certain rules, such as patterns of lines, meter, rhymes, and stanzas. This doesn't apply to open form poetry, which follows no such rules. There is no required rhyme scheme, rhyming pattern, or a set number of lines in a stanza.

Some types of closed form poetry are the sonnet, the sestina, the villanelle, the haiku, etc. For example, a villanelle is a poem that consists of nineteen lines divided into five tercets followed by a quatrain.

As we can see, the closed form poetry is more definable and describable than open form poetry, which allows more freedom.
