Is there anything more exhuberantly fun than the whimsical rhymes of Dr. Seuss? Theodore Geisel is today much better known by his pseudonym of Dr. Seuss. The silly rhymes which set his work apart can be found in his still widely read children’s books. The main meter Dr. Seuss used in his works was anapestic tetrameter. I won’t even pretend to know what that means, but apparently it describes the rythmic quality of his works that draws readers in.
