A Rhythmic Observation
There's a rhythm that develops in the practice of your trade
Whether medicine or lawyering or gard'ning with a spade.
The meter of this poetic truism happens to be (˘˘ˇ´) three light beats for each heavy.
I learn that the meter is called quartus paeon, originally used by the Greeks in hymns of praise and thanksgiving. By coincidence then I created a couplet appropriate for this Thanksgiving Day!
And one is thankful, after all, when one finds one's rhythm.
