Often is said, that the beauty of Poetry
carried on ripples of meter in fabulous
cadences marching in tandem victorious,
adds to its overall scholarly chemistry.
Figure in rhyming that makes it more difficult
writing a poem that is genuine artistry.
Yet, it can add a pure golden embroidery,
as in a storm the sky lights to a thunderbolt.
Oh, as I vie to it
Can't get enough of it.

In accentual verse, often used in English, it is a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables.
iambic - da Dum, da Dum
