Rhythm

Def:
Rhythm is a continuous repetitive beats in poems.
Example:
Hiawatha's Departure
from The Song of Hiawatha
by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
By the shore of Gitchie Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam,
In the pleasant Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited. 


 Significance:
Poems created music! Rhythm created music in poems. Words with same pronunciation at the end of a sentence in poems makes differences between a poem and an essay.
