Question:

Where can I find out in what poetic form a specific poem is written?

I need to know in what poetic form Donald Justice's "On the Death of Friends in Childhood" and Gwendolyn Brooks' "We Real Cool" is written. Where can I find this information? I am all googled out, and I just can't find it!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Brooks' poem is free verse. Verse Libre. It's not really in any standard form.
Justice's poem is in a type of pentameter, but it also appears to be free verse.
