vers libre
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.
