Rhythm

Definition: Beat of the poem

Example:
One, two,
Buckle my shoe.
Three, four,
Shut the door.
They know the days of the month by memorizing:
Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November....
They even pick up bits of history by remembering such simple rhymes as:
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In fourteen-hundred-ninety-two



Significance: Fun to read
