Musings On Poetic Metre, Rhythm, and Song

Rhythm’s a trick of deft poets, who know the pulses of their feet give lines their tempo. And so it’s like a poem’s pulsating heartbeat; it’s hypnotic (and you know it’s metric),—so drink in its potent beat! When one hears a song’s rich measure (the crests and troughs of its music, the ebb and flow of its leisure), it tunes like a score symphonic, an orchestra of paced pleasure with a sound and style that’s epic!
