http://indolit.blogspot.com/2008/12/poetic-meter.html
December 12, 2008. In most poems, the lines are written according to patterns of rhythm. Poetic meter is the measure of a line of poetry. It is rhythm that can be measured in poems. The smallest of these metrical units is the 'syllable'. English syllables are two kinds: accented or stressed, and unaccented or unstressed.

April 25, 2008. The Decline of the Local Prayer House. And outside the prayer house, on the left side, you would have found an old man sitting there whose manner was very much in keeping with both his age and piety.

Indonesian Literature: May 2008

And the rest, a veiled blanket,. As soft and moist as mist. Shaken by the struggling thunder. Deep in the heart of the pine forest. And so we lie down,.
