Definition: A poem that has a beat to it. Rhythmic poem that has a similar beat in each stanza.
Example:
I've known the toil of three score years
And built the arks of damned and dears,
And here I build unto this day;
O' how much longer can I stay?
I've known the lot of them from birth,
Have seen their tears, have heard their mirth,
Have heard a maiden wail with child
And each was born to be exiled —
Both king and knave; to common end
Do all the sons of Adam tend
Where mire and mitre come to blend —
We're wanderin’, we're wanderin'.
Significance: It's important to use meter in poems because when we read poem it sound more like a song. And we all know songs are freaking awesome. I personalty like songs wayy more than poems. But if they are the same, then i'll like poems a bit more.
