When we talk of meter in accentual-syllabic verse, it is not something that should be obvious. If it is obvious, then your work will be of little interest. After listening to overemphasized syllables, it will become dull and boring. When you read formal (structured or metrical) verse, you are feeling the rhythm of the piece. Like a song which in many ways befits a poem. You might invent a tune to write to. I call it a tune because there is always a musical quality attached to a poem. Well, a good poem — a bad poem is horrendous.
