Free verse avoids traditional poetic forms such as rhyme schemes and conventional metres and can follow any pattern the poet wishes which means that the verses and lines can differ in length as the poet chooses. However blank verse like free verse is also unrhymed but each line in blank verse has roughly the same number of stresses and syllables, usually following the iambic pentameter

P. H. Butter has written: 'Edwin Muir'
"The Castle" by Edwin Muir is praised for its exploration of complex themes such as isolation, time, and the human condition. The poem's imagery and language are highly evocative, drawing readers into a surreal and haunting landscape. Muir's use of symbolism and allegory adds depth to the poem, inviting interpretations about power, memory, and the passage of time.
Helen Rosalind Sherk has written: 'The method of Edwin Muir'
The majestic horses, symbols of grace and strength, gallop freely across vast plains, their powerful hooves pounding the earth. Their flowing mane and shimmering coat capture the sunlight, creating a breathtaking sight. Let us admire these magnificent creatures, for they embody the beauty of untamed freedom and wild spirit.
