Question

PLEASE HELP Write two poems. In the first, write a poem of six lines, each with the same number of beats (remember that each specific syllable is one beat). In the second, write a poem of six lines, but give each line a different number of beats. Make both poems about the same subject. How does changing the structure change the feeling of the poem?

Your response below should include both poems, and two to three sentences discussing how changing the structure changed the feeling of the poem.

Answer 1

A sestet is a six-line stanza of poetry. It can be any six-line stanza—one that is, itself, a whole poem, or one that makes up a part of a longer poem. ... Sestets don't have to have a meter or rhyme scheme, but the sestet of a sonnet typically uses iambic pentameter and has a specific rhyme scheme.

Answer 2

The Candle (1)

On a white night

Cold and special

The candlelight

Slowly trembles;

A small sunrise

It resembles

The Candle (2)

The candle sitting on the window

Contrasting against the white snow

Resembles a small sunset

As it trembles

So fiery,

So slow...

I feel like changing the structure of the poem gave me more space to describe what I saw in my imagination.

I also believe that the poem with the same number of beats is more 'musical', while the other one is like telling a story. I think another difference is that the second one feels more natural and it describes an image, while the first one is shorter but more emotional.
