Meters!!

In previous classes, we have discussed the variations of characteristics that a poem can have in order to set it apart from the rest. Every poem is unique due to the different qualities they hold.
We talked about how there is a great deal of imagery, symbolism, metaphor, simile, and much more used in poems in order for it to express a certain emotion or situation. Another characteristic that poetry possess's is meter. There are many different types of meters and they can be distinguished through the stressed and unstressed syllables. The variation of these different meters is how a poet further accents a meaning or message he wants portrayed in his work.
Our class seemed to be getting pretty frustrated with the whole concept of meter, stressed and unstressed syllables. But, for me, I found it very interesting. I love how I have a further comprehension of poetic meters and have grown a fascination as to how poets fit them into their work. The meters they choose are always so suitable and really add color to the poem. It's truly inspiring reading poetry with such flow and meaning. They make it seem so easy to set a meter to language. I for one, have a lot of practice to do with meter and setting it to my own words. I have yet to create a masterpiece.
