angela k brown - rhythm and meter lyrics
rhythm is the pattern of stresses in a line of verse. when you speak, you stress some syllables and leave others unstressed. when you string a lot of words together, you start seeing patterns. rhythm is a natural thing. it’s in everything you say and write, even if you don’t intend for it to be. rhythm refers to the overall tempo, or pace, at which the poem unfolds. rhythm in poems is best described as a pattern of recurrence, something that happens with regularity
rhythm is the general term, applying to all speech, in every language, as well as sounds in general, provided the sounds are continuous or repet-tive, and show some pattern in their continuity or repet-tion. music is a good example; it has rhythms, but no meter. rhythm describes in general the patterns of stressed and unstressed, or long and short, syllables found in language, and especially in verse. rhythm has a broader “reach” than meter. my recollection is that meter always applied to some recognized (and named) repeating pattern, but rhythm could be applied to more obscure aspects where it might even be difficult or impossible to identify specific repeated sequences
english poetry employs five basic rhythms of varying stressed (!) and unstressed (x) syllables. the meters are iambs, trochees, spondees, anapests and dactyls. in this doc-ment the stressed syllables are marked in boldface type rather than the tradition al “!” and “x.” each unit of rhythm is called a “foot” of poetry
rhythm is the element of music that organizes movement in time. the rhythmic group or metrical unit that contains a fixed number of beats, divided on the musical staff by bar lines. another word for measure is bar
a meter is the traditional form of verse used to establish a rhythmic patterns. a meter is the premeasured patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables. much of english poetry is written in lines that string together one or more feet (individual rhythmical units). feet are the individual building blocks of meter. the difference between meter and rhythm is meter is the basic plan of the line; rhythms are how the words actually flow, often with the meter, but sometimes varying from it
to build a line of verse, poets can string together repet-tions of one of these feet. such repet-tions are named as follows:
• 1 foot: monometer
• 2 feet: dimeter
• 3 feet: trimeter
• 4 feet: tetrameter
• 5 feet: pentameter
• 6 feet: hexameter
meter is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem–each set of syllables is referred to as a foot. the name of the meter is based on this pattern and the length of the line–trimeter, tetrameter, pentameter, hexameter, and heptameter. following are the most common feet:
• iamb – an iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. because it mimics the natural rhythm of language, it is the most common. any poetry anthology will contain more iambic pentameter than any other meter
• pyrrhic – a pyrrhic is a foot with two unstressed syllables
• spondee – a foot with two stressed syllables is a spondee
• trochee – a foot with a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable is a trochee
• anapest – an anapest consists of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable
• dactyl – a dactyl consists of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables
meter, on the other hand, in the sense intended applies strictly to poetry or a vocal song, and refers to certain specific repet-tive patterns of syllables, in a particular language. meter in american english is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse. meter produces rhythm, i.e. the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables is the meter and the music resulted from this pattern is called rhythm. meter is the grouping of beats into larger, regular patterns. it is best to think of meter as the grouping of beats or pulses into larger, regular patterns (measures) or accented and unaccented beats. meter refers to: 1) the number of beats in a measure, 2) the placement of accents within the measure and 3) and the way each beat is divided into smaller parts. meter is the differentiated into strong and weak and organized into patterns
the syllable are marked by stressed and undressed syllables. mark unstressed syllables with an ‘x’ and stressed syllables with a ‘!’
!xx !xx xx! x xx!x
liking it, k!lling it, expelling sk!lls, -n-lyze this –
! xxx ! !x x !x
live against ills, i dispel words i spill;
! x! x x!x x!x
i’m hitting it, missing it, ditching it
xx! x xxx x !x! x xx!
lyrically in admission, in detention, in attention
! x xx! x x !x! x x xx!
i’m not confessing, it’s my profession, words of expression
x ! x ! x! x ! x! x
words so fresh, i express with fines, k!lling this
!! x x xx! x x !! x x
holding it down, expelling with sound, blowing words loud
