POETRY TERMS: Rhythm ♥

RHYTHM!






Definition: Something that has a beat when reading a poem. A movement.


Example
By the shore of Gitchie Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam,
In the pleasant Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.

Significance: It is important to have rhythm in poems because it makes the poem for fun and exciting. Like the poem we read in class "Casey at the bat". It was a fun and entertaining poem. It is even for fun when you read the poem out loud with tone.
