C the way a poem is divided can affect its overall meaning

The rhythm of a poem, the number of syllables and the structure of topics all affect how the poem can be perceived. Using a certain type of rhyming scheme may convey frivoloity or joyousness while a drier rhyming scheme, with similar wording, may convey a dispassionate tone.
