Read each line below and decide if it has cadence or regular rhythm. My pool has captured the moon again.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me.

In dreary December, it hails and it snows.

Some golden daybreak, Josh will come.

Line one has a perfect cadence which comes at the end.

Line two also has a perfect cadence. The subtle tonality of closure for that line sticks out a the end of the sentence.

Line three has  an imperfect cadence

Line four also has an imperfect cadence

Explanation:

A regular rhyming poem is one which contains rhyming words at the end of certain lines. A great example of rhythm is found in the poem - Twinkle, twinkle, little star.  

A cadence on the other hand appears to have a rhythm that winds down to a halt. In other words, it is the changes in rhythm and pitch. Cadence is most apparent when the poem is being read out loud.

Another characteristic of a cadence is that it sometimes appears in the middle of a line underscored by a semicolon a dash or a comma.

When the cadence comes in the middle, starting after a comma, it is called an imperfect cadence. An imperfect cadence is also known as a half cadence.

Cadences that come at the end of the line are called perfect cadences.

Cheers!
