In poetry, metre (meter in US spelling) is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse. Many traditional verse forms prescribe a specific verse metre, or a certain set of metres alternating in a particular order. The study and the actual use of metres and forms of versification are both known as prosody. (Within linguistics, "prosody" is used in a more general sense that includes not only poetic metre but also the rhythmic aspects of prose, whether formal or informal, that vary from language to language, and sometimes between poetic traditions.)
Qualitative vs. quantitative metre
The metre of most poetry of the Western world and elsewhere is based on patterns of syllables of particular types. The familiar type of metre in English-language poetry is called qualitative metre, with stressed syllables coming at regular intervals (e.g. in iambic pentameters, usually every even-numbered syllable). Many Romance languages use a scheme that is somewhat similar but where the position of only one particular stressed syllable (e.g. the last) needs to be fixed. The metre of the old Germanic poetry of languages such as Old Norse and Old English was radically different, but was still based on stress patterns.

What does does poetic meter mean? What are some examples of different kinds of metrical feet? Professor Ray Malewitz answers these questions using examples from William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Clement Clarke Moore, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Milton, and the hip hop trio Migos. The short video is designed to help high school and college English students to not only identify standard metrical feet (iambs, trochees, anapests, and dactyls) but also to analyze their structure and purpose.

How to find poetic meter
A very brief introduction to poetic meter and how to go about finding it.

Image with common meters and feet: http://imgur.com/QqfsvsX
The image at the end which has Trochees should read "/x" NOT "/u". The 'u' is another way to note unstressed syllables, but in the interest of keeping things consistent I should probably have simply used the x.

Without meter in poetry, beat poets wouldn't have a beat. And then they'd just be oddballs standing up on stage, saying random stuff for seemingly no reason whatsoever. Come to think of, that's not too far from the definition of a beat poet anyway.

The pleasure of poetic pattern - David Silverstein
View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-pleasure-of-poetic-pattern-david-silverstein
Humans are creatures of rhythm and repetition. From our breath to our gait: rhythm is central to our experience, and often brings us pleasure. We can find pleasure in the rhythm of a song, or even the rows of an orchard. Of course, too much repetition can also backfire. David Silverstein describes what poetic repetition is and why it works.

The image at the end which has Trochees should read "/x" NOT "/u". The 'u' is another way to note unstressed syllables, but in the interest of keeping things consistent I should probably have simply used the x.

Without meter in poetry, beat poets wouldn't have a beat. And then they'd just be oddballs standing up on stage, saying random stuff for seemingly no reason whatsoever. Come to think of, that's not too far from the definition of a beat poet anyway.
Talking about Rhythm and Meter in poetry, including major metrical feet, how to hear stressed and unstressed syllables, and how many feet are in a line.

In this episode, we delve deeper into rhythm by exploring its molecular level, syllables. The units of measurement used are a foot and a meter.

Humans are creatures of rhythm and repetition. From our breath to our gait: rhythm is central to our experience, and often brings us pleasure. We can find pleasure in the rhythm of a song, or even the rows of an orchard. Of course, too much repetition can also backfire. David Silverstein describes what poetic repetition is and why it works.

This course will give you the ability to analyse and appreciate the metre (aroud) and rhyme (qafiyah) of Classical Arabic poetry. Those skilled in Arabic would also be able to use the skills learned in the course to compose Arabic verse.
This recording is the first session of a five part series, which was delivered on Friday 20th November 2020.

In poetry, metre (meter in US spelling) is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse. Many traditional verse forms prescribe a specific verse metre, or a certain set of metres alternating in a particular order. The study and the actual use of metres and forms of versification are both known as prosody. (Within linguistics, "prosody" is used in a more general sense that includes not only poetic metre but also the rhythmic aspects of prose, whether formal or informal, that vary from language to language, and sometimes between poetic traditions.)
Qualitative vs. quantitative metre
The metre of most poetry of the Western world and elsewhere is based on patterns of syllables of particular types. The familiar type of metre in English-language poetry is called qualitative metre, with stressed syllables coming at regular intervals (e.g. in iambic pentameters, usually every even-numbered syllable). Many Romance languages use a scheme that is somewhat similar but where the position of only one particular stressed syllable (e.g. the last) needs to be fixed. The metre of the old Germanic poetry of languages such as Old Norse and Old English was radically different, but was still based on stress patterns.
