CLOSED+FORM

**Closed form-** A type of form or structure in poetry characterized by regularity and consistency in such elements as rhyme, line length, and [|metrical pattern]. Frost's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" provides one of many examples. A single [|stanza] illustrates some of the features of closed form:

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though. He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Closed form poetry is the more common form that comes to most peoples mind when they visualize poetry, with similar number of syllables and a rhyme scheme that gives it a pleasant flow.
