Scansion is the analysis of the meter and rhyme scheme of a poem. It involves breaking down the poem's rhythm, identifying its feet (such as iambs, trochees, anapests, or dactyls), and noting the pattern of stresses and syllables. This process helps to understand how the structure of the poem contributes to its overall meaning and emotional effect.
