vers libre (or free verse), a term used to describe many forms of irregular, syllabic, or unrhymed verse, in which the ordinary rules of prosody are disregarded.
Whitman pioneered a form of
vers libre in America, and its independent evolution in France and Belgium (in the works of Laforgue, Maeterlinck, and others in the 1890s) had a great influence on the early
Modernists such as T. S.
Eliot and
Pound.
