Definition
• rhythm: the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line.
• meter: the number of feet in a line.
• scansion: describing the rhythms of poetry by dividing the lines into feet, marking the locations of stressed and unstressed syllables, and counting the syllables.
![Page 4: Rhythm, Meter, and Scansion Made Easy.ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042511/55cf9b23550346d033a4e056/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
when we describe the rhythm of a poem, we “scan” the poem and mark the stresses (/) and absences of stress (/ ~/ -/ v) and count the number of feet.

Meter
• Patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables• The basic unit of meter is a foot.• Most common feet in English poetry:
– Iamb / – Trochee / – Anapest /
– Pyrrhic
– Dactyl / – Spondee / /
![Page 6: Rhythm, Meter, and Scansion Made Easy.ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042511/55cf9b23550346d033a4e056/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Some feet in verse and poetry have different stress patterns. For example, one type of foot consists of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed one.
• Another type consists of a stressed one followed by an unstressed one. In all, there are five types of feet:
Iamb (Iambic) Unstressed + Stressed Two SyllablesTrochee (Trochaic) Stressed + Unstressed Two SyllablesSpondee (Spondaic) Stressed + Stressed Two SyllablesPyrrhic Unstressed + Unstressed Two SyllablesAnapest (Anapestic) Unstressed + Unstressed + Stressed Three SyllablesDactyl (Dactylic) Stressed + Unstressed + Unstressed Three

The length of lines–and thus the meter–can also vary. Following are the types of meter and the line length:

Shakespeare’s SONNET 138
When my| love swears| that she |is made |of truthI do believe her though I know she lies,That she might think me some untutor’d youthUnlearned in the world’s false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,Although she knows my days are past the best,Simply I credit her false speaking tongue:On both sides thus is simple truth suppress’d.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?And wherefore say not I that I am old?O, love’s best habit is in seeming trust,And age in love loves not to have years told:
Therefore, I lie with her and she with meAnd in our faults by lies we flatter’d be.

The Tyger by William Blake
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire in thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art? Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand, and what dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb, make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Anapestic /
/ / / There was an old man in a tree / / / Who was hor·rib·ly bored by a bee / / When they said, "Does it buzz?“ / / He re·plied, "Yes, it does! / / / It's a reg·u·lar brute of a bee!"
Edward Lear
