What is "rhythm"?

Rhythm is a pattern of sounds or beats that repeats at regular intervals. In literature, it often refers to the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry, creating a flow or beat. In music, rhythm involves the timing of notes and chords, creating a structured pattern of beats and pauses. Rhythm helps to set the pace and mood of a piece, making it more engaging and dynamic. For instance, in poetry, a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables creates a rhythmic flow, while in music, the rhythm of drum beats or instrumental sections provides a foundation for the composition.

Personification adds depth and emotion to writing by allowing readers to connect more deeply with the subject.
