The Garret

I love the essay; he scans a line of Gerald Manley Hopkins five different ways and talks about the problem of shoehorning a language based on syllable emphasis (English) into a meter designed for languages based on syllable length. (Uh, it might be more interesting if you know Greek or Latin. I've never read anything about the mechanics of Japanese or Korean poetry, and obviously neither has he, so you might have an interesting take with your knowledge of those languages as well as your work in English.)
