analyzing interesting rhythms in poetry

[clemonz]

I think he is referring to attempting to rhyme masculine with feminine.

no i wasn't.

but i dunno if my scansion is "wrong". i'll try to find the term i meant later.

the term is just "substitution". i haven't found a variant of the term when it is used WRT different feet.

Perhaps "incorrect" or "erroneous" ?

the term is just "substitution". so it would just be "substitution of X for Y", there's nothing coined to shorten the term.

i think people keep misunderstanding me !

“All-seeing-I saw ocular blood clots,
sun blemished skin and a broken heart.
Now wait while I spit out your mugshots.”

Should I read his heartbreak as weakly impersonal due to the substitution of a anapest in "and a broken", which works with the consonance of "sun" and "skin" to give the statement a relative sense of unimportance. Or should I read the author as melodramatic, due to the substitution of a pyrrhic in “blood clots", working to highlight the coagulation of blood and distress.

It would be a rushed to claim that Simmons is able to harmonize such disparate elements through his imagination and clever use of expectation.

all i'm doing is analyzing prosody, but what i don't know is how to present an argument on it - what features really are interesting prosodic elements, when to stop, etc.
