Poetic Meter In poetry, the meter (or metre) is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse. The scansion of a poem is the analysis of its metrical structure. In most Western classical poetic traditions, the meter of a verse can be described as a sequence of feet, each foot being a specific sequence of syllable types (stressed or unstressed). Stressed = /, unstressed = ˘

Poetic Meter continued… The most common meter in English poetry, the so-called iambic pentameter, is a sequence of five iambic feet or iambs, each consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one ("da-DUM"). So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM So long lives this, and this gives life to thee, da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM

Poetic rhyme structure: Just like we need to know how to annotate rhythm, so do we need to understand rhyme structure. Unthrifty loveliness why dost thou spend, a Upon thy self thy beauty's legacy? b Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend, a And being frank she lends to those are free: b

Scansion example: Line 7 ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / And ev / ery fair / from fair / ˘ / ˘ / sometime / declines /
