Rhythm

Definition

Rhythm is the beat of music in poems. It's the regular repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables.

Example
There once was a young girl named Jill.
Who was scared by the sight of a drill.
She brushed every day
So her dentist would say,
“Your teeth are so perfect; no bill.”


Significance
Rhythm is significant in poetry because poetry is emotionally charged and intense. Rhythm gives the poem melodies and tunes which makes the poem more intersting to read. It also helps readers concentrate more into the poem.
