OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Yeah, lyric poetry isn't defined to have any specific quantity of lines.

Is it B?

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Well, one thing about lyric poetry is that it allows us to feel what the writer felt in a special way. This can be done through a rhyme scheme, but it doesn't have to rhyme. It's mainly about the emotions and feelings that are portrayed throughout the poem.
