I have to write a poem with an example of meter and another one with meter. They both have to be 10 lines. I zoned out during class and can’t remember it from a few years back. Does anyone know what this is?

well I do know that Shakespeare is an example of meter. I am pretty sure it means they have the same amount of syllables or the same emphasis on the same syllables.

 

Not gonna lie, I haven't thought about poetry since... 7th grade... but I believe this is right.

My teacher said we should have covered it few years ago but I don’t really remember that. Because he said we should remember some he was suuuupppppeeeeerrrrr vague and only gave us an outline. Thank you for the help

Any type of meter or a specific type? Meter is the rhythmic structure of a line of poetry.

 

 

Here are a couple of links that talk about poetic meter:
