Cadence
"Most poetry and music share some feats-
as cadence brightens words and notes with beats."
by_ Poet
Most music has a cadence all its own;
through it, we feel a steady rhythmic flow.
When beats are spaced to accent every tone,
the instruments present a measured show
heard and enjoyed- delivered fast or slow.
Likewise, a poem plays a silent song
by cadence formed with words that flow along.
As syllables, unstressed or stressed evoke
a thought or image- tenuous or strong-
the beats of rhythmic poetry invoke.
