Wikipedia
Accent in poetry refers to the ''stressed'' portion of a word. For example::"Let Us make man in Our image, :according to Our likeness; :let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, :over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, :over all the earth and over every creeping thing :that creeps on the earth" :::Genesis 26-27Now depending on where you place the ''stress'' in this poem you will get a different meaning. For example, place the stress or accent on 'Our' and suddenly we have more than one God. Place it on 'them' then, there would appear to be a lot of men already there ready to receive planetary rights. Place it strategically on 'fish', 'birds', 'cattle' then you've got a really nice wrap up with accenting the last 'earth' for emphasis. Of course, where to accent in poetry can be of hot debate.''See also lexical stressCategory:Poetry
