Here's why:
* Free verse poetry is a form of poetry that does not adhere to traditional rules of meter, rhyme, or stanzaic structure.
* It allows poets the freedom to experiment with language, rhythm, and form, creating unique and personal expressions.
* It's important to note that while free verse poetry breaks away from traditional constraints, it doesn't mean it's devoid of structure entirely. The poet still creates rhythm and meaning through careful word choice, line breaks, and other techniques.
Some other terms that might be considered, but are not as precise:
* Modern poetry: This is a broad term that encompasses a variety of poetic styles that emerged in the 20th and 21st centuries, including free verse.
* Avant-garde poetry: This term refers to experimental poetry that pushes the boundaries of traditional forms and often seeks to challenge social and artistic norms. While some avant-garde poetry might be free verse, it's not always the case.
