Rhythm

Closed-form- Lines of poetry contain specific number of syllables measured by heavy stress (prime) or light stress (breve) Units of light and heavy stresses = feet

Feet- Patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables The basic unit of meter is a foot. Most common feet in English poetry: Iamb  / Trochee/  Anapest   / Dactyl/   Spondee/ /
