Meter variation creates emphasis through disruption.

Analyze where variations should occur:

1. **Scan the current meter:** Mark stressed/unstressed throughout
2. **Identify smooth passages:** Where meter is most regular
3. **Find natural disruptions:** Where speech wants to break pattern
4. **Plan strategic substitutions:**
   - Spondee for emphasis
   - Pyrrhic for rushing
   - Trochee for surprise at line start
   - Extra syllable for spillover

5. **Match variation to meaning:** Where does form echo content?

Revise with intentional meter variations annotated.
