We have the poem ''Wild Nights''

The Meter in the poem is Ballad-meter
- WILD in this context is stressed, Nights is unstressed. There is a dimeter (two iambic feet) --> Ballad-meter (no ryhme scheme)

- The dashes are used to make a pause in the poem.  ''The Winds - To a heart in port'' --> Here are the dashes used to make a pause. They are there to show the reader the feelings in the poem. The narrator knows what the reader should feel after reading that.

I find the meter quite difficult to indicate. (It could be iambic dimeter with two iambic feet).

Everything in a poem has a meaning - the economy of poetry - therefore, it is important to talk about dashes, which can be seen this text passage:

“Futile - the winds - To a Heart in port" (stanza 2 l. 1-2). Dashes can be used to make a pause in the poem. It refers to the writer’s feelings. Also, the narrator wants you to feel the same way the narrator feels.

Furthermore, we see exclamations marks: “Ah - the Sea!” (stanza 3 l. 2). The usage of exclamations marks makes the narrator’s feelings stronger and more dramatic, and it makes a strong statement to the poem, which could be seen as love is a strong power.

I think that the meter is not that easy to define

Here is a try (I spend quite a long time deciding the meter, and I am not sure at all):
- / - /       iambic diamter             or        / - / -       trochaic dimeter
- / - /       iambic diameter           or       / - / -       trochaic dimeter     (I think it could be both?!)
- / - /       iambic diamter
/ / - -       one stressed + dactylic monometer

- / - /      iIambic diameter
- - / - /    anapestic monometer + iambic monometer
/ - - / -    dactylic monometer + trochaic monometer
/ - - /      dactylic monometer + iambic monometer

/ -  - / -   dactylic monometer + trochanic monometer
/ - /        one stressed + iambic (?!)
- / - /      iambic diameter
- / - /      iambic diamter

No matter what, the meter is quite harmonic in the end and the beginning (if it is the iambics). However, in the second stanza, on might be very (very) confused about the rhythm. One could understand it as if the narrator casts off his/hers inhibitions: "Done with the Compass / Done with the Chart" (s. 2, l. 3-4). It is like a climate

All in all, it is very confusing and not "tamed", which is similar to the state of mind of the narrator
Love is both chaotic and mild

b.
Dashes are used quite often in the poem. Presumably, they are used to create a certain rhythm in the text. Moreover, it could be because of the fact that when one is reading the poem, he/she will make a pause, just like the narrator. Thereby, you would synchronize with the narrator and perhaps feel the same feelings (something like that)
On the contrary, the dashes indicates that the sentences are like thought – "brainwaves"/ "impulses", which also underline the "beating" and confusing and spontaneous love:
"Futile - the winds - / To a Heart in port - / Done with the Compass - / Done with the Chart!"
This seems quite hectic and abrupt, which again again underscores the frenzied mood

Exclamations marks might be used to almost shout some of the statements in the poem. E.g.: "Ah - the Sea!" (s. 3, l. 2).
"Might I but moor - tonight / - In thee!"
They make it more dramatic
Huge feelings – love is  very strong feeling (probably the strongest)

The narrator is a first-person narrator which is seen in stanza 1, line 2: "Were I with thee". Also, the narrator speaks to someone "thee" (you)
