Read the excerpt from Amy Lowell’s "Lilacs." What is the form of the poem?

Lilacs,
False blue,
White,
Purple,
Color of lilac,
You have forgotten your Eastern origin,
The veiled women with eyes like panthers,
The swollen, aggressive turbans of jeweled Pashas.
Now you are a very decent flower,
A reticent flower,
A curiously clear-cut, candid flower,
Standing beside clean doorways,
Friendly to a house-cat and a pair of spectacles,
Making poetry out of a bit of moonlight
And a hundred or two sharp blossoms.
Maine knows you,
Has for years and years;
New Hampshire knows you,
And Massachusetts
And Vermont.

My initial thought was free verse. And you can make a point for it, but really think about it. How is it stating things. Do you feel like your there? Can you picture it? Yes, is the answer for this poem. I would go with D. Descriptive.

The form of the poem "Lilacs" by Amy Lowell is free verse.

The form does not follow any regular meter or rythm. One great example in this exerpt of the poem is lines 1-5. There are simply one word or short phrases. This repeats throughout the different stanzas.
