Rhythm
Rhythm is derived from the Greek word for "flow," and is a term that refers to a measured flow of words and signifies the basic beat and/or patterns in language that is established by stressed syllables, unstressed syllables, and pauses. Rhythm is a feature of both pose and verse. Rhythm, one should note, is different from meter, which involved the organization of syllables and pauses into a more formal, regular pattern of stress units with a dominant foot. Rhythm is also different from rhyme. In verse, rhythm is usually accompanied by rhyme, but does not need to be. Rhyme is used to intensify rhythm patters, but it is not an essential element of poetry, as rhythm is. In prose, rhyme is uncommon, so rhythm is generally created by imitating the cadences of everyday speech and through the uses of euphony, parallelism, and repetition.
