Rhythm.
The word rhythm is derived from Greek word
rhythmos
which means
‘measured motion’. Rhythm is a stylistic device which demonstrates the long and short
patterns through stressed and unstressed syllables particularly in verse form.
The regular and rhythmic arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables found in
poetry is called metre. The basic unit of metre is the foot, which consists of one stressed
syllable and one or more unstressed syllables. The most common feet are:
Iamb (adj.: iambic) – one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable: (ӑ ‖ w`ay);
Trochee (adj.: trochaic) – one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable: (f`a
‖ thӗr);
Anapest (adj.: anapestic) – two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable: (iň
‖ tɦe l`ight);
Dactyl (adj.: dactylic) – one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllable: (`o ‖
vӗr ‖ thӗ);
Monosyllable (adj.: monosyllabic) – one stressed syllable: sk`y;
Spondee (adj.: spondaic) – two stressed syllables: r`ain ‖ b`ow.

the mind as well as to the soul. In speech, rhythm is used unconsciously to create
