Rhythm may also refer to visual presentation, as "timed movement through space" [5] and a common language of pattern unites rhythm with geometry. For example, architects often speak of the rhythm of a building, referring to patterns in the spacing of windows, columns, and other elements of the façade.
Harmonic rhythm may be described as strong or weak. According to William Russo harmonic rhythm is, "the duration of each different chord...in a succession of chords." [3] According to Joseph Swain (2002 p. 4) harmonic rhythm, "is simply that perception of rhythm that depends on changes in aspects of harmony."
A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes at the end of each line of a poem or song.It is usually referred to by using letters to indicate which lines rhyme; lines designated with the same letter all rhyme with each other.
rima llana (plane rhyme): the rhyming words are unaccented, for example cama (bed) and rama (branch), pereza (laziness) and moneda (coin) or espejo (mirror) and pienso (I think). rima grave (oxytonic rhyme): The rhyming words are accented on the last syllable, for example: cartón (cardboard) and limón (lemon), jerez (sherry) and revés ...
The term describes the rhythm, or meter, established by the words in each line. Rhythm is measured in small groups of syllables called "feet". "Iambic" indicates that the type of foot used is the iamb, which in English is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (as in a-BOVE). "Pentameter" indicates that each line has five "feet".
Polyrhythm: Triplets over duplets in all four beats [1] 2:3 polyrhythm (cross rhythm) as bounce inside oval Polyrhythm (/ ˈ p ɒ l i r ɪ ð əm /) is the simultaneous use of two or more rhythms that are not readily perceived as deriving from one another, or as simple manifestations of the same meter.

In the example below, for the first two measures an unsyncopated rhythm is shown in the first measure. The third measure has a syncopated rhythm in which the first and fourth beat are provided as expected, but the accent occurs unexpectedly in between the second and third beats, creating a familiar "Latin rhythm" known as tresillo.
In music, the terms additive and divisive are used to distinguish two types of both rhythm and meter: . A divisive (or, alternately, multiplicative) rhythm is a rhythm in which a larger period of time is divided into smaller rhythmic units or, conversely, some integer unit is regularly multiplied into larger, equal units.
