Meter

A regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables– Free verse does not have a regular pattern of stressed and

unstressed syllables– Sounds like ordinary speech

When poets write in meter, they count out the number of stressed syllables (or strong beats) and unstressed syllables (weaker beats) in each line

They then repeat the pattern throughout To avoid singsong effect, poets usually vary the basic

pattern

The rhyme scheme isabab cdcd efef gg

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate.Rough winds do shake the darling buds of

May,And summer’s lease hath all too short a

date.Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometimes declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed.

But thy eternal summer shall not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his

shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
