Monometer

This kind of meter is incredibly rare and is almost never used throughout an entire poem. As readers might imagine, writing a poem in which every line contains one unit of the meter could be very taxing. It may also, for some, not be worth reading. More commonly, readers will find poems in which some lines are written in monometer.

In some cases, a writer might use groups of three beats (as seen below) to create one single foot. But, the former is far more common. Examples of monometer being used throughout an entire poem are hard to come by. But, the use of this kind of meter within a few lines, or just a single line, in a poem is far more common.

In this poem, which was originally written in Spanish, readers can find examples of lines that could be described as being written in monometer. These are the shortest lines of the poem and are quite effective when they are contrasted with the longer lines that come before and after them. For example:

In this project, we simulated the monometer using Ansys Fluent Software and it has been shown how there is variation in U-tube manometric fluid column. The multiphase VOF model has been used. A convergent and divergent nozzle has been used to create a pressure difference. One end of the manometer is attached at the throat and the other at the converging section. There is a rise in the liquid column in the U- tube manometer at the low-pressure region.
