Lines and sentences of different lengths are left lying side by side just as things are, undisturbed and separate. There are few compound sentences to draw objects and experiences into a system of hierarchy. Whitman was the first American to use free verse extensively. By means of quot;free verse,quot; Whitman turned the poem into an open field, an area of vital possibility where the reader can allow his own imagination to play. 3) Whitman is conversational and casual, in the fluid, expansive, and unstructured style of talking. However, there is a strong sense of the poems being rhythmical. The reader can feel the rhythm of Whitman#39;s thought and cadences of his feeling. Parallelism and phonetic recurrence at the beginning of the lines also cont
