Definition: Meter is the measure of the beat in a poem. Meter is measured in feet, which are syllables.
Example: "O Captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done.
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;"
Here, the meter is iambic.
Significance: Meter is important because it creates a flow to a poem that makes it sound more rhythmic and easier to read aloud.
