Rhythm

Definition

The arrangement of words into a more or less regular sequence of stressed and unstressed or long and short syllables.

Example

The wind in her hair over there 
The chair that sat with her hair 
Eyes on eyes 
Fire and lye 
in the river sky on I

Significance

Rhythm is the key to keeping a poem interesting by expressing emotion in a pattern and letting you speak with great tone along with meaning.
