A poem where the meter is consistently maintained and predictable, allowing the verse to be read with a smooth, unbroken rhythm; e.g., an entire poem in iambic pentameter.; The skillful use of line breaks (enjambment) and punctuation (caesura) to ensure the spoken voice moves easily from one line to the next in a controlled and graceful manner.; A poem's rhythm that employs a regular alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables that feels natural and musical, avoiding abrupt metrical shifts.; The use of a simple, repetitive meter, such as trochaic dimeter, which gives the poem a steady, lilting, and easy flow.
