You're missing the point milo, accentual verse has to be woven into the content in the beginning, not added on later as an appendix.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Accentual verse is strictly driven by beats per line." So by the way is metered poetry, it just requires a partner or partners of unstressed syllables.
When we are talking cadence or rhythm we are talking accentual verse, just not tied to a line count, the stressed syllables and non-stressed syllables is what gives the rise and fall of the voice.. Sure accentual verse is more difficult (when not confined by a line count), but it is also more subservient to driving the content, than vice versa. Free iambic verse came about as trying to loosen the straight jacket that had been put on content since 1066. The problem arises when people try and use them without having trained their ear on the more standard verse forms, and you get as we so often see, bland, run-on sentences.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
