 Every syllable pronounced is of nearly equal value but is less strongly accented than in English; being less intense requires less discipline to mold the accents into the poem's rhythm.This new technique, as defined by Kahn, consists of the denial of a regular number of syllables as the basis for versification; the length of line is long and short, oscillating with images used by the poet following the contours of his or her thoughts and is free rather than regular.Although free verse requires no meter, rhyme, or other traditional poetic techniques, a poet can still use them to create some sense of structure.
