Yes, read with rhythm.

It also rhymes, but the rhythm matters most.

WYN ken, BLYN ken, and NOD one night

Sailed OFF in a WOOD en SHOE,—
SAILED on a RIV er of CRYS tal LIGHT
IN to a SEA of DEW.

(all caps = spoken a bit more loudly than the other syllables)

You're welcome. =)

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options and the role of a skilled poetry reader.

A. Rhyme: Rhyme refers to the similarity of sounds at the end of lines in poetry. While rhyme can enhance the musicality of a poem, it does not necessarily emphasize the meaning or interpretation of the words.

B. Rhythm: Rhythm refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem. A skilled poetry reader does pay attention to rhythm as it can enhance the flow and musicality of the poem. However, while rhythm is important, it alone does not fully emphasize the meaning of the words.

C. Definition: While it is important for a poetry reader to understand the definitions of words, emphasizing the definitions alone may not capture the full depth of meaning in poetry.

D. Pronunciation: Pronunciation refers to the correct articulation of words. While pronunciation is essential for clarity in understanding the words, it may not necessarily convey the full meaning and interpretation of the poem.

Considering the above analysis, the answer that best fits the role of a skilled poetry reader emphasizing the meaning and interpretation of the words is B. Rhythm.

So, the correct answer is B.
