In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can often hear the rhythm in a poem when you read it out loud. Try reading what you have written so far and listen carefully. You may even want to record yourself reading your poem and then play it back. Reading out loud will also help you to identify the stressed and unstressed syllables in your poetry, which are crucial for creating rhythm. Some questions to consider when you read aloud include:  Does the poem have a noticeable beat when you read it out loud? If so, what is it? Is there a musical quality to the poem? If so, what tune might go well with the poem? What syllables or words have the most and least emphasis when I read them out loud? The main difference between syllables in words that are stressed and unstressed is how long it takes you to say the syllable. Patterns of these long and short syllables in poetry is what creates the rhythm. To adjust the rhythm of your poetry, re-read what you have written and be on the lookout for these different types of syllables. For example, in the word “today” the unstressed syllable is at the beginning of the word and the stressed syllable is at the end of the word, so the emphasis is on “day” and it sounds like “to • DAY.” Placing a special mark above syllables that are stressed and unstressed may help you to adjust your poem and create a stronger rhythm. Make a distinctive mark for each type of syllable and place it above or below the line. For example, you could place an asterisk (*) above syllables that are stressed and a dash (-) above syllables that are unstressed. After you have marked your poem to indicate what syllables are stressed and unstressed, go back through the poem and look for patterns. You should notice a pattern easily if your poem has a distinct rhythm. If not, then you can use the lack of a pattern to help you adjust what you have written.  For example, a line that reads, “The SUM • mer SUN was SHI • ning BRIGHT,” has a clear syllable pattern of unstressed/stressed/unstressed/stressed. On the other hand, a line that reads, “The SUN was BRIGHT that day,” does not have a distinctive pattern. You could adjust it to something like, “The RIS • ing SUN was BRIGHT that DAY,” so that the syllables have a definite pattern of unstressed/stressed/unstressed/stressed.
Summary: Read your poem out loud. Identify stressed and unstressed syllables in words. Mark the syllables to indicate if they are stressed or unstressed. Look for patterns in the syllables.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Kirby cucumbers are the "classic" pickling cucumber, and are recommended for sweet and crunchy pickles. Typically, for pickling a batch, you'll want at least two or three pounds of cucumbers. Rinse them thoroughly and cut them in the desired shape. You can cut them into rounds or chips, spears, or keep them whole for pickling. If you keep them whole, trim off the flower-end of the cucumber. To ensure crispy canned pickles, pack your sliced or whole cucumbers in salt and ice and keep them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before you pickle them. In a bowl, toss 3-4 tbsp of kosher salt with your cucumbers and an equal amount of ice. Cover the bowl with a wet towel or plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge while you prepare the other ingredients and supplies. If you're going to can the pickles, you'll want a 1 : 1 ratio of vinegar to water for making the "pickle juice." Depending on how many pickles you have, a quart should be enough. You can always mix up more on the fly. Regular white vinegar is fine, or you can use cider vinegar or another vinegar you prefer. To this, add 1.5 tbsp of kosher salt.  Mix in a saucepan or pot. Heat the mixture on the stove until it comes to a boil. Lower the head and keep it at a steady temperature. It needs to be at boiling temperature to pickle the cucumbers. "Pickle crisp" is a commercial pickling product used to keep pickles crispy. It's basically calcium chloride. A natural alternative to pickle crisp is to use grape leaves in the jars, which was the traditional way to keep the pickles from softening. How you want to spice your pickles is up to you, but a typical "pickling spice" mixture includes black peppercorns, dill seeds, smashed or sliced garlic cloves, and red pepper flakes if you like some kick. You can either throw the dried spices into the pickling solution, or you can stuff the spice mix into the jars after you've prepared them and before you've inserted the pickles. Either is an effective way of spicing the pickles, but packing an amount in each jar will ensure an even amount of spice in each jar.
Summary: Get some cucumbers. Wash and process the cucumbers. Brine the cucumbers. Mix up your pickling solution. Prepare your pickling spices.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Goldfish plants need lots of light, but direct sunlight will cause the leaves to burn. If you’re growing your plant indoors, place it in a window that faces north or east to prevent it from getting too much light during the day. These plants can also do well under an artificial grow light. These plants love humid conditions. To make sure your goldfish plant gets the humidity it needs, place the pot on a shallow tray or saucer with pebbles in it and pour a little water into the tray. The water will evaporate and create moisture for the plant.  Don’t put in so much water that it touches the bottom of the pot. This could cause the soil to become soggy. If your plant is in a hanging basket, you can instead mist it every day with lukewarm water. Don’t use cold water, since this will damage the leaves. Goldfish plants do well in warm conditions, but they are sensitive to heat and cold. Keep your plant in a temperature-controlled area so that it doesn’t get too hot or cold. If you notice the leaves of your goldfish plant turning brown or falling off, it may mean that your plant is too hot. In nature, the goldfish plant is epiphytic, meaning it usually grows in trees rather than on the ground. For this reason, it’s easiest to grow goldfish plants in planters or hanging baskets rather than in your garden. Choose a pot that is at least 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) wide to allow your plant to trail and spread out. Make sure to choose a planter with good drainage, since soggy soil can cause the roots to rot. It’s important to keep epiphytic plants in soil that drains well, since waterlogging can cause the plant to rot. Choose a soil that won’t retain too much water and allow your goldfish plant to become soggy. An orchid or succulent potting mix containing perlite and peat moss should work well.
Summary:
Pick a spot with indirect sunlight. Plant your goldfish plant in a humid area. Maintain a temperature of around 65–75 °F (18–24 °C). Put the plant in a wide planter so it can trail. Give your plant a well-draining potting mix.
