Rhythm

Rhythm:
Rhythm is created by the repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables.

Usage:
I have a dog.
His name is Fred.
He won't play fetch.
He won't play dead.

He won't shake hands
or sit or stay
or bark or beg
or run and play.

He won't roll over,
shake or crawl.
In fact, he won't
do tricks at all.

When folks ask why
I tell them that's
because my dog
was raised by cats.

Importance:
Rhythm can give you a feel of a poem, which might tell you something about the meaning of the poem. Rhythm also make poems more entertaning, and can sometimes make people move and dance a bit. Finally rhythm makes poem sound like they fit together.
