	Rhythm and Meter in English Poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Each line of a poem contains a certain number of feet of iambs, trochees, spondees, dactyls or anapests.
		A line of one foot is a monometer, 2 feet is a dimeter, and so on--trimeter (3), tetrameter (4), pentameter (5), hexameter (6), heptameter (7), and o ctameter (8).
		The number of syllables in a line varies therefore according to the meter.

		It has been demonstrated that human memory retains a rhythmical pattern for a limited duration.
		Heptameter lines and longer are usually unconciously restructured by readers and hearers.
		For example an octameter line is broken down into two tetrameter lines Line divisions often provide a form of counterpoint to the rhetorical and syntactical design of a poem and poetry is the language of love so many have said so.

	Poetry Explication
		Meter also refers to the number of feet in a line:
		Any number above six (hexameter) is heard as a combination of smaller parts; for example, what we might call heptameter (seven feet in a line) is indistinguishable (aurally) from successive lines of tetrameter and trimeter (4-3).
		To scan a line is to determine its metrical pattern.

		This means seven sets of unstressed-stressed syllables, or iambs, per line in sets of four lines, with the second and fourth lines rhyming.
		Note also, that Coleridge's Mariner does not stay with the iambic heptameter - it's a goal, not a concrete rule.

		Because the memory can retain a rhythmical pattern of only a limited duration, heptameters and longer lines tend to receive from reader or hearer an unconscious restructuring: the heptameter commonly breaks into a tetrameter and a trimeter (as in ballad meter, q.v.), the octameter into two tetrameters, and so on.
		Line divisions frequently function like foot divisions in providing a form of counterpoint to the rhetorical and syntactical design in a poem.

	Glossary of Poetic Terms from BOB'S BYWAY, Letter M
		In classic Greek and Latin versification, meter depended on the way long and short syllables were arranged to succeed one another, but in English the distinction is between accented and unaccented syllables.
		Metrical lines are named for the constituent foot and for the number of feet in the line: monometer (1), dimeter (2), trimeter (3), tetrameter (4), pentameter (5), hexameter (6), heptameter (7), and octameter (8); thus, a line containing five iambic feet, for example, would be called iambic pentameter.
		Rarely does a metrical line exceed six feet.
