Rhythm, Rhyme, Meter

Rhythm: Movement or procedure with uniform or patterned recurrence of a beat, accent, or the like.

Example: The beat going on the same time or same tone.


Rhyme: Identity in sound of some part, especially the end, of words or lines of verse.


Example: to say the same sound but different word example " Cat in the Hat."

Metor: the fundamental unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to 39.37 U.S. inches, originally intended to be, and being very nearly, equal to one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the pole measured on a meridian: defined from 1889 to 1960 as the distance between two lines on a platinum-iridium bar (the “International Prototype Meter”) preserved at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

Example: like a miles perhour meter for a cars speed.
