Question

Consider a poem where a stanza has lines with irregular lengths and no obvious rhyme scheme. However, some lines have a strong internal rhythm, and there are instances of caesura marked by dashes. What can be inferred about the poet's use of poetic structure?

Options

The poet is trying to create a traditional, formal poem.

The use of caesura is to disrupt the irregular rhythm and create confusion.

The lack of a rhyme scheme and irregular line lengths suggest a free - form approach, while the caesura is used to add emphasis and create pauses for dramatic effect.

The caesura is used to mark the end of a stanza.
