DEFINITION

The up and down voice while reciting a poem.

EXAMPLE

I can't tell you what it really is

I can only tell you what it feels like

And right now it's a steel knife in my windpipe

I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight

As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight

High off of love, drunk from my hate,

It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate

And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me

             ~Love The Way You Lie - Eminem 

SIGNIFICANT

Rhythm while reading poem can create music and beats. Without Rhythm, a poem would be as tedious and unnatural. Poems need rhythm in order to sound like one, or else it'd sound like a long piece of written work.
