no, meter is not important or necessary: no i disagree. meter is just there. meter is there whenever anything sounds.
but despite what i say above meter is super important because of the past. take for example the poem i wrote yesterday, which is not particularly good, but which is lifted from yeatses "when you are old and gray and full of sleep"etc. which reading anything with similar spacing recalls in me the original poem. the full of sleep, the crown of stars, the embarrassing puerile subject matter in breathing metered romance syntax.
put the I in Eyeglasses. heck put the Ass in Eyeglasses. that's what i'm talkin bout.
