answered: uberagentkenny

The rhythm is "regular" and "like a dance".

Explanation:

"My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke is a simple four-lined poem of four stanzas. It is a recollection of the narrator's childhood memory of when he was 'waltzing' with his tipsy father in the house.

The whole short poem simply narrates the childhood experience of the narrator as a child being danced with by his father. Despite the drunken state of his father, the boy remembered how he loved him. The poem moves quite smoothly, with the use of simple language to describe the dancing. The rhythm f the poem is a simple regular rhyme, the common ABAB, though not complete end rhymes. And the rhythm also seems to resonate with the dance of the boy and his father, with the use of iambic trimeter (three stressed and unstressed syllables in each line.

The gregorian chant was a major cultural milestone in the middle ages. it was one of the first codified forms of music meant to be played as written, where previously it was difficult to mass-produce and disseminate any music. what's more, these chants were also some of the first examples of musical notation: the notes and bars of today's music sheets are a reflection of centuries of evolution beginning with these chants. it became official throughout the entirety of the catholic church, meaning that nearly all of europe followed this musical notation and styling.
