Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rhythm sets poetry apart from normal speech; it creates a tone for the poem, and it can generate emotions or enhance ideas. It’s important to pay attention to rhythm because it’s key to understanding the full effect of a poem. In poetry, loud syllables are called stressed and the soft syllables are called unstressed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rhyme, along with meter, helps make a poem musical. In traditional poetry, a regular rhyme aids the memory for recitation and gives predictable pleasure. A pattern of rhyme, called a scheme, also helps establish the form. For example, the English sonnet has an “abab cdcd efef gg” scheme, ending with a couplet.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rhythmic beat is created by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line or verse. In modern poetry, line breaks, repetition and even spaces for silence can help to create rhythm. Rhythm can help to strengthen the meaning of words and ideas in a poem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rhyme creates a sound pattern that allows you to predict what will come next. When you can remember one line of a poem, you’re more likely to remember a second line if it rhymes. This pattern creation also allows the poet to disrupt the pattern, which can give you a jarred or disoriented sensation or introduce humor.
