Write two poems. In the first, write a poem of six lines, each with the same number of beats (remember that each specific syllable is one beat). In the second, write a poem of six lines, but give each line a different number of beats. Make both poems about the same subject. How does changing the structure change the feeling of the poem?

The Candle (1)

On a white night

Cold and special

The candlelight

Slowly trembles;

A small sunrise

It resembles

The Candle (2)

The candle sitting on the window

Contrasting against the white snow

Resembles a small sunset

As it trembles

So fiery,

So slow...

I feel like changing the structure of the poem gave me more space to describe what I saw in my imagination.

I also believe that the poem with the same number of beats is more 'musical', while the other one is like telling a story. I think another difference is that the second one feels more natural and it describes an image, while the first one is shorter but more emotional.
