what is the basic unit measurement of poetry
One of the reasons for the continued popularity of poetry is that there are a wide variety of poetic styles. Poems can be written in a strict form following a specific pattern or beat and rhyme scheme. Poetry can also be written without following any rules, known as free verse. Meter is the measurement of the pattern of sounds in a line of a poem. Measuring rhyme in a poem means finding the patterns of words that sound alike in each line or verse of the poem.
