Question: Does "Blackberry Picking" by Seamus Heaney have a deliberate meter!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Thank you for exposing me to this lovely poem!. I notice that the meter is choppy, but not specific, and I also notice that some lines catch and some lines flow, kind of like kids bounding through a thorn-field!. I really like that about it!.

Sometimes in writing, the speed of the words is more important than the technical meter!. I am not an expert on meter however, so this is just a layman's opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well here's a link to the poem for anyone who wants it!.
