    Humans are creatures of rhythm and repetition. From our breath to our gait: rhythm is central to our experience, and often brings us pleasure. We can find pleasure in the rhythm of a song, or even the rows of an orchard. Of course, too much repetition can also backfire. David Silverstein describes what poetic repetition is and why it works.
    Lesson by David Silverstein, animation by Avi Ofer.

      I find it satisfying that his name even fits the theme of the video. Addison Anderson. It's an alliteration and it rhymes too!

      This video is beautiful, art making is skillful, and then goes this!
      The content is good, raising my mood, make me wanna roll happily in mud, or maybe I should?
      I'm trying to be poetic, I'm writing here as if I'm writing a music, even when all I can do is make it too classic, at least I can make a poetry you can enjoy even when you're sick.
      I know this look a bit forced, but I can barely select my word, I need to keep checking if what I write is right in oxford.
      That's it for now, my heart's still hollow, filled with shadow, I need a fellow, or maybe I'm just gonna grab my pillow, watching the sun glow, saying wow, take a bread chew it then swallow, now I'm gonna go slow, cause' this is my show, you should've say wow, I make a long poem that you should enjoy while eating marshmallow, I don't know how will I give this poem a deathblow, so I'm just gonna end this with booking a bungalow!!

    I don't listen to rap often, but Eminem just won me over with his poetic pattern. I mean, just read this:
    His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
    There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
    He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
    Amazing.

    As cliché as it may sound to American viewers, one of the best examples of poetic patterns discussed in the video is the poem The Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe.
    Another poem that employs a "catchy" poetical meter is one Hiawatha, by Longfellow.
