When writing there is one area I am not great at leveraging. That's rhythm or meter. I don't hear meter naturally like some people do so I have to really break down the meter in order to work on it...

When writing there is one area I am not great at leveraging. That's rhythm or meter. I don't _hear_ meter naturally like some people do so I have to really break down the meter in order to work on it. And then what? I'm not even sure what I'm going to convey if I do manage to restructure the writing in a particular way. However, I am aware that it is a moderately useful tool and so I'd like to add it to my bag. For instance, I know that very quick paced writing can add a feeling of breathlessness that can evoke excitement or anxiety. Then what? I don't really know any others. That's the only one I've ever used. **What are some ways I can use the rhythm and meter of the words to evoke emotions beyond just what the words say?**
