What are two poetic elements in Beware Do Not Read This Poem by Ishmael Reed?

1. Free verse: The poem does not follow a consistent rhyme scheme or meter. This gives it a more natural, conversational feel.

2. Enjambment: Many of the sentences run over from one line to the next. This creates a sense of suspense and keeps the reader moving forward through the poem.
