Free Verse Figure Of Speech Calculator: An Aid To Poet Style Determination

Poetry writing and analysis are both qualitative subjects. To get over any possible biases of human perspective it is necessary to map these poetic features on a scale of real numbers. Free verse is a form of poetry that is unrestricted by the requirements of metre and rhyme. This article is focused on free verse compositions viewed through the lens of rhetorical properties or figures of speech. The state-of-the-art model FoSCal cannot handle free verse compositions. On the other hand, FVRCal is a state-of-the-art tool for free verse that computes rhyme (not FoS) on a numerical scale. The proposed tool, FVFoSCal, covers a broader section of alankāra than the state-of-the-art model. It can measure the alankāra score for any free verse composition. The scores generated by the proffered tool form a dataset, FoSSset, which is later used to determinethestyleofthepoetusingsuitablestatistical tests. The statistical analysis performed in this experiment establishes commonality and diversity among the four renowned poets of Hindi literature, namely; Bachchan, Dushyant Kumar, Nirala, and Agyey.
