- Q2Which answer choice best describes the elements used in this free verse poem? The rain has stopped And I hear birds In the distance. They've emerged from the trees And are filling the air with Crisp, precise notes. The sun is peeking out from behind A few stubborn clouds. The heavy puddles reflect its light. The wet grass gleams, and The leaves patiently wait for the Raindrops to fall. My umbrella sits, beaten down and tired. I put it away and step outside. A ray of sun stabs at me And I gleefully squint.details that describe a humorous (funny) scenevery long lines containing complete sentencesword choices that make readers feel depressedirregular line breaks and clear images120s
