Measure Defined

Poetic rhythm or cadence as determined by the syllables in a line of poetry with respect to quantity and accent; also, meter; also, a metrical foot.
Sidelight: While the two terms are usually used synonymously, meter suggests a predictable regularity, so measure is more aptly used in reference to the irregular rhythm of free verse.
(See Accentual Verse, Quantitive Verse, Syllabic Verse)
(See also Common Measure)

This definition is in context to Poetry. See more contextual defintions for Measure.
