Does anyone else measure the sylables in their poetry?
When I write poems I try to make sure the lines have a symitry of timing and pace by counting out the sylables to make sure this happens.
I am not saying my lines never varry in a poem I am writing but I always try to make some sort of pattern that I feel lends to the timing, tempo, pace and general good feeling of the poem.
I often put the count on the lines to make sure they match other lines in a patern as in:
7
7
8
8
7
7
Is this a quark that anyone else does. I think it might be due to the obsesive compulsiveness I have always had in my head. I used to count the number of steps to the bus stop when I was a kid.
What quarks do you have in your poetry?
