Rhythm

Definition: The rise and fall sound of the word in the poem.

Example: Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room

Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,

Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,

Pounded on the table,

Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,

Hard as they were able

Boom, boom, BOOM,

With a silk umbrella and the handle of a broom,

Boomlay, boomlay, boomlay, BOOM.

Significant: attracting when you read the poem out loud.
