Mark,
I like what Henry wrote about the difference of stress in American and English speech. Also, when reading aloud or internally, a sensitive performer/reader will add many checks and balances which are impossible to notate but which make the difference between doggerel and poetry. That's why in the end I find such discussions self-defeating.
