Here's why:
* Pattern Verse: This refers to poems that follow a specific structure, like a sonnet, haiku, or limerick. These forms have strict rules regarding rhyme, meter, and stanza length.
* Figurative Verse: This type of poetry uses figurative language to create imagery and evoke emotions. This includes metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and other literary devices.
The poems in Alice in Wonderland, like "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter," rely heavily on:
* Nonsense words: "Jabberwocky" invents words like "slithy," "mimsy," and "frumious," creating a surreal and nonsensical atmosphere.
* Metaphors and similes: The poem uses vivid imagery and comparisons to make the fantastical world more tangible.
* Personification: Animals and objects are given human characteristics and emotions, adding to the dreamlike quality of the story.
While some poems might have a specific rhyme scheme or meter, they do not adhere to a strict, pre-defined form. The focus is on using figurative language to create a unique and imaginative experience for the reader.
