Technique help

[DalvinT]

Hi!!

Does anyone know a technique that is used to when the poet uses "2 and 3 syllable words in a line" only?
Or even the name for that type of rhythm/beat?

Do you mean, the words that make up the line only have 2 or 3 syllables per word, or do you mean, 2 or 3 syllables per line? I'm assuming you mean the first
Could you copy and paste an example of the text you are referring to?
As you can see here the total number of syllables for the line is important to know too. Otherwise, if it doesn't fall into any of these categories still, perhaps you could be talking about the weight of the consonance or something similar. Let me know

Mmm, I'm a little stumped with this. I'd definitely be talking about the listing style of musical artists. Listing works here to compound evidence and momentum. I think that the small number of syllables for each word works to create the fast pace of the list, thus making it a more powerful statement. So, the listing combined with the limited syllables to each title amounts to a powerful and momentous argument for the speaker. You could also say this is cacophony, with the various syllables with a different emphasis on each half of the word for different words. The accent is placed on a different stressed syllable for each. But hearing the speaker of this would give you a clearer view: I'm just going off the words on the page. This is just my opinion on this section of the text, I'm happy to have other people suggest otherwise

If you're looking specifically to know about meter, I won't lie, I'm struggling! It's hard to know if the speaker is pronouncing things correctly or blurring them for the purpose of presentation, so I can't work out the meter. This resource might help, though.
The first two lines there have the same syllables, but the third line appears to have more (unless the speaker is being colloquial in the pronunciation).
