What Is Rhythm? Rhythm is a musical quality in language produced by repetition. Poets can create rhythm by repeating patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables repeating words, phrases, lines, or sentences using rhymes or repetitions of sounds using pauses varying line lengths

What Is Meter? Meter is a generally regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry. To indicate the metrical pattern of a poem, mark stressed syllables with the symbol ( ) unstressed syllables with the symbol ( ) The couple sat in silence, watching the lightning dance across the sky.

Units of Meter Meter is measured in units called feet. A foot usually consists of one stressed syllable and one or more unstressed syllables. The feet in a poem are divided by vertical lines. “The vil lage smith y stands; The smith, a might y man is he, With large and sin ewy hands;” from “The Village Blacksmith” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
