Poetic Meter Assignment

Poetic Meter

Song:Everything

Artist: Michael Bublé

Part of the song:

"You're a falling star, You're the get away car.

You're the line in the sand when I go too far.

You're the swimming pool, on an August day.

And you're the perfect thing to say."

Now lets analize it:

You / 're / a / fa / lling  / star, / You / 're / the / get / a / way / car

You / 're / the / line / in / the / sand / when / I / go / too / far.

You / 're / the / swim / ming / pool, / on / an / Au / gust / day.

And / you / 're / the / per / fect / thing / to / say.

Results:

1st: Dactylic Tetrameter and a Catalexis

2nd: Dactylic Tetrameter

3rd: Dactylic Trimeter and a Trochaic Monometer

4th: Dactylic Trimeter

In my opinon i think i got it wrong because in tha third line i had more than one type of feet. For me, poetic meter is kind of difficult because im not good in reading and writing; i have more logical-mathematic skills.
