An arrangement of words in regularly measured, patterned, or rhythmic lines or verses.
Example[:
No I'm not bitter, I'm not mad.
Well maybe just a little, just a tad.
I know every apple here ain't bad,
But I found a worm in every single one I had.
We would all be happy, all be glad,
If sweet Mama Nature never had,
All these dirty little boys,
Who think girls are made for toys.
[I Hate Boys - Christina Aguilera]
Significance[:
I think meter is important because it makes the poem sound in place and not so jumpy. It also makes the poem sound neat and in order, and it's predictable what the next stanza is gonna sound like, or what the next rhyme is.
