Meter

__**Meter:**__ Definition- A meter is a way of measuring lines of poetry based on stressed and unstressed syllables (rhythm of the word).

Examples-


 * When we say the word “bubble,” we stress the “bu” part. We say “BU-bble,” not “bu-BBLE.”
 * When we say the word “fantastic,” we stress the second syllable. We say “fan-TAS-tic,” not “FAN-tas-tic” or “fan-tas-TIC.”
