    Whitman uses a strong figurative language with an iambic meter that provides a fluid rhythm and enhanced effect.

    Explanation:

    Walt Whitman wrote the poem "O Captain! My Captain!" for his favorite President Abraham Lincoln. Though the poem does not have a proper thyme scheme, Whitman uses a strong figurative language with an iambic meter that provides a fluid rhythm and enhanced effect.

    The line "O Captain! My Captain!" emphasis the theme very well, as the tone keeps changing, it starts happy and ends despair in the distress of a great leader.

    His repetition of lines till the final line enhances the effect of understanding the emotion and pity of the poet and the loss of a great leader in history.
