Which answer choice best describes the elements used
in this free verse poem?
irregular line breaks and clear images
very long lines containing complete

Odetails that describe a humorous scene
word choices that make readers feel
depressed
The rain has stopped
And I hear birds
In the distance.
They've emerged from the trees
And are filling the air with
Crisp, precise notes.
The sun is peeking out from behind
A few stubborn clouds.
The heavy puddles reflect its light.
The wet grass gleams, and
The leaves patiently wait for the
Raindrops to fall.
My umbrella sits, beaten down and tired.
I put it away and step outside.
A ray of sun stabs at me
And I gleefully squint.
