It has strict rules on the number of lines, the number of words (or syllables), the tone and rhyme, the antithesis of words and the arrangement of sentence patterns. For example, the metrical poems, quatrains, words and songs in China's ancient poems and the European sonnets. And the four-character, six-character and eight-character fonts of metrical new poems. There may be more modern metrical new poems in the future.

Free verse

It is a newly developed poetic style in modern Europe and America. It is not limited by metrical rules, has no fixed format, pays attention to natural and internal rhythm, and uses rhymes roughly similar or without rhymes. The number of words, lines, sentence patterns and tones are relatively free, and the language is relatively popular. Whitman (18 19- 1892), an American poet, is the founder of European and American free verse. Leaves of Grass is his main collection of poems.
