does the poem Sonnet 1 by Jose Garcia Villa have rhythm and meter?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

This lyric poem has both rhythm and meter.  

For rhythm, simply identify the stressed and unstressed syllables in each line.

For meter, identify or count the number of stressed syllables.

e.g.

In the line, "It must be slender as a bell" -- the bolded words are stressed

The overall meter of the poem is iambic trimeter with a rhyme scheme of rhyming couplets (AA, BB, CC, etc.)

First, a poem must be magical,

Then musical as sea gull.

It must be a brightness moving

And hold secret a bird’s flowering.

It must be slender as a bell,

And it must hold fire as well.

It must have the wisdom of bows

And it must kneel like a rose.

It must be able to hear

The luminance of dove and deer.

It must be able to hide

What it seeks, like a bride.

And over all I would like to hover

God, smiling from the poem’s cover.
