Select a song that you like and scan the lyrics, nothing the rhyme scheme and meter. then, respond to these questions: what rhyme scheme and meter do the lyrics have? is it a set meter, or does it vary? how do you think the song type (rap, hip-hop, pop, country, etc.) influences the kind of meter it has? would you expect to find a similar rhyme scheme and meter in other songs in this genre? if you recite the song lyrics as you would a poem, would it have the same rhythm and meter as it does as a song? does putting the lyrics to the musical arrangement alter the spoken rhythm of the words?
