Always, in fact.
But Kasper, I'm now even more unsure of what you mean. You seem, most
of the time, to not be interesting in trad verse, yet refer here to
metre, etc. I would argue that 'music' in poetry emerges from rhythm,
sound patterns, etc., can include metre in some cases, but, as Pound
argues, rhythm is the key, & isn't necessarily metre, but needs to be
present in a way it is not in prose.
His articles from early in the 20th century are still a good place to
begin thinking these things through....
Of course, your fav. wcw. had some intriguing things to say about
rhythm & sound, too.... especially as he attempted to discover an
American metric in his later poems....
