Use Dictation. Go to a document or other text field and place the insertion point where you want your dictated text to appear. Press the keyboard shortcut for starting dictation, or choose Edit > Start Dictation. The default shortcut is Fn Fn (press the Fn key twice).
Meter is especially significant when reading poetry aloud because it guides desired voice fluctuations. Without consistent meter, it's difficult to maintain a smooth, steady flow throughout a poem unless it follows a free-verse style. When you write or read poetry, think of meter as the beat or the cadence of the piece.
Sometimes, however, as in a lyric poem, the effect intended may be the rendering or creation of a mood, such as that of happy content, and in that case the poem may not have an easily expressible concrete theme. Lyric poems are expressions of spontaneous emotion and are necessarily short.
