Monometer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Antiquary (talk | contribs) at 11:54, 15 March 2018 (Antiquary moved page Monometre to Monometer over redirect: "Monometer" gets vastly more Ghits than "monometre", especially if you add "prosody" to the search term so as to exclude irrelevant hits.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In poetry, a monometre is a line of verse with just one metrical foot.

Example

Monometer can be exemplified by this portion of Robert Herrick's poem "Upon His Departure Hence":[1]

Thus I
Passe by,
And die:
As one,
Unknown,
And gone.
