Poetry is a form of literature that uses literary devices such as rhythm, language, image, and symbolism to convey emotional resonance. Poetry comes in many different forms, such as sestina, sonnet, free verse, ekphrastic, concrete, and prose, among many others. In particular, rhythm in poetry is the use of stressed and unstressed syllables that carry throughout the writing. When a poem with a very particular rhythm is read out loud, the result is a reading that projects a distinct cadence. Spoken word poetry, for example, depends heavily on voice intonation and inflection, and therefore it is necessary for each line to convey a certain rhythm or "punchiness." Without adhering to a specific rhythm, the poem (whether spoken or not) can fall flat and lose its effect. That's why every word in poetry needs to be as precise as possible.
