 * __A Definition of Rhythm [ __ Yahoo Answers] **

It's the cadence, where the stress falls. For example iambic pentameter: shall I comPARE thee TO a SUMmer's DAY (stress the capital letters, including I) This is the pattern shakespeare used because it mimicks natural speech, but it's unstress, stress, unstress, stress (five times per line.) It doesn't have to be that formal, but the point is that it should make the poem flow, have rhythm so that it scans well.


 * __Examples of Rythm In Poetry__

1. I hear the sound I love, the soung of the hyman voice, I hear all sounds running together, combined, fused, or following, Sounds of the city and sounds out of the city, sounds of the day and night, Talkative young ones to those that like them, the loud laugh of work-people at their meals...

2. ** **Crow in Car Park**

From a power pole set in black bitumen, His jagged bleating reminds me, Of parched paddocks.

What better place to deliver his dark eulogy, Than from the cross-beamed comfort, Of his suburban strainer post. //[|Tim Edwards]//3. The Japanese Lunch

The Japanese lunch Has taken over, For who can argue With culinary grace While the rude Patron contrasts so Deliciously with the food. // [|B. W. Shearer]
