How does free verse support the speaker of the poem’s initial statement “Poetry / I, too, dislike it”? Check the two boxes that apply.

Free verse has no regular meter or rhyme scheme, so the poem looks less like poetry in the traditional, formal sense. Its flexible line breaks and conversational wording also make it read more like prose, reinforcing the speaker’s opening claim, “I, too, dislike it.” Free verse does not create a predictable pattern or a fixed formal structure here.
