"The Force That through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower" is made up of four stanzas, each with five lines, followed by an ending couplet. Its meter is often described as iambic pentameter, a line of verse featuring five segments of two syllables ("feet") where the first syllable is unstressed and the second is stressed, as in the word "above." But Thomas's poetry seldom fits neatly into conventional metric analysis. While most poems contain some irregularity in meter, Thomas's poetry uses more variation than most.
