rhythm



Definition: Rhythm is the significant in poetry because poetry is so emotionally charged and intense. Rhythm can be measured in terms of heavily stressed and to less stressed syllables. Rhythm is measured in feet.


Example: By the shore of Gitchie Gumee, 
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam,
In the pleasant Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.
Significance: I think that rhythm is like the beat the poem has.
