In poetic terms, scanning refers to the process of analyzing and marking the stresses in a line of poetry to determine its meter and rhythm. It involves identifying the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem.
writers use rhythm mainly in poetry. the kind of rhythm a poem possesses determines what kind of poem it is. for example, if a poem has five lines and lines one, two, and five end in the same suffix, and lines three and four end in the same suffix but not the same one as one, two, and five, the poem is a limerick, a form of poetry that commonly focusses on humor rather than an emotion
A poem does not have to have rhyme or rhythm. Free verse poetry, for example, may not have a regular rhyme scheme or meter. Poetry can still be powerful and meaningful without adhering to traditional structural elements.
