Walt Whitman is the great master of free verse in American poetry. I loaf and invite my soul, I lean and loaf at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. —Walt Whitman Free verse is poetry that does not contain regular patterns of rhyme and meter. The lines in free verse often flow more naturally than do rhymed, metrical lines and so sound more like everyday speech. Walt Whitman

Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow! Free Verse Note, however, that Whitman does use the following poetic devices to create rhythm: cataloging: frequent lists of people, things, and attributes The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands repetition: repeated words or phrases at the beginning of two or more lines Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!

Free Verse parallelism: related ideas phrased in similar ways Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same As you read the poems, notice how Whitman uses these devices to achieve rhythm, musical effects, and a style all his own.

Analyze Tone To help you understand Whitman’s poems, pay attention to their tone. Tone is an expression of a writer’s attitude toward his or her subject. For example, a writer’s tone might be respectful, angry, or amused.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, Analyze Tone Tone can be communicated through choice of words and details. Notice the triumphant tone in these lines from “Song of Myself”: I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Analyze Tone As you read Whitman’s poems, jot down examples of words and details that communicate tone in a chart like the one shown. Examples Tone “I Hear America Singing” “blithe and strong” happy, confident “Song of Myself” “A Noiseless Patient Spider” “Beat! Beat! Drums!”
