As in counting syllables in line usage??


It's all in the rhythm, beat ect...


Ex: " I gave my heart away last night (8)
.........Took with such force and all his might (8)
.........Whoo, shoot, it scared me half to death! (8)
.........I ran away leaving a mess (8)

Mind you though, if you keep them all pretty close, like (9,9,10,8 or 5,7,6,8, pending on the words you choose, it all works out <3)
