Branliest to correct answer

which of the following is not a quality of free verse?

a rhythmic pattern
no regular meter
end-stopped lines
rhyming lines

  I believe that the quality that lacks the free verses is Rhytmic Pattern.

  Free verses are an open form of poetry which means that had no predetermined structrue and no prescribed length since it had no regular meter and no rhyme scheme there are no specific rules for end stopped lines or stanza´s division.

  Some free verse poem might not resemble like a poem at all, during the begginings of the 20th Century it had it´s peak with a group of authors  who called themselves Imagists; they wrote poetry focused on concrete images, they avoided the abstract philosophies and sometimes even the puntuation.

  Higlhy experimental poetry is often writeen in free verse, in them the poet might focus on words sounds or images without regard to logic or synthax. But there are some examples that free verse isn´t necessarily need to be experimental or hard to decipher. I will copy an extract of a poem from a contemporary poet named Ellen Bass written in an ordinary language to exemplify, the poems title is "What did I love"

"What did I love about killing the chickens?  Let me start

with the drive to the farm as darkness

was sinking back into the earth.

The road damp and shining like the snail’s silver

ribbon and the orchard

with its bony branches. I loved the yellow rubber

aprons and the way Janet knotted my broken strap.

And the stainless-steel altars

we bleached, Brian sharpening

the knives, testing the edge on his thumbnail. All eighty-eight Cornish

hens huddled in their crates. Wrapping my palms around

their white wings, lowering them into the tapered urn."

  I hope that the answer help you. Greetings.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).

the price of our current war is high; it costs money and it costs lives.

but it does not cost our pride. it does not cost the guilt that would arise from knowing that we did nothing to intervene while our neighboring nations fell to despotic leaders.

it does not cost the terror of knowing that our allies are unstable. it does not cost the fear that we, too, will be next to fall.
