Why are comics and poems alike 6: are really metrics and comics compatible? p1

A DIFFERENT CONCLUSION

This is a different conclusion to the series about metrics, poetry and comics. It means I might be wrong and I don’t know if I’m being brave enough to say I’ve made a mistake or stupid enough to walk backwards and show you what some people call a bad quality: to back off on beliefs. But, as in yoga¹, sometimes one must undo what’s been done.

RHYME OR SYMMETRY

In spite of agreeing comics and poetry can’t be measured in a similar manner given the differences between image and sound and regarding the fact rhyme is totally independent from metrics; I realized I haven’t proved at all metrics exist for both media.

A verse can consist in two, five, twelve syllables and still be iambic or not, rhymed or not. Thus, the translation symmetry² is there or not but metrics is all about In music there are musemas, the minimal unit of musical meaning that can be symmetric when repeated. Believe it or not. And I should stop researching unrelated topics or I’ll never end sounds.

WHAT’S MISSING IN ORDER TO CORRELATE METRICS AND COMICS?

Big-Choma would tell me: “If you can count syllables in a poem, you can do the same about vignettes”. That’s’ the missing thing. Once the relation between poem and comics stablished as sequence, silence and symmetry.

Right! There are 4 vignettes, 8, 9 and … how many squares were there in the man wearing a bat’s page I posted in the entry about sequence? They happened to be 14, as in an Alexandrian stanza. Are there Alexandrian sequences in comics?
