Traditional (ancient) Hebrew poetry is more focused on imagery than on sound and metre.
Answer:
The meter in ancient Hebrew verse (Hebrew Bible) is determined by the cantillation. This is the musical trope by which the verses are sung in the traditional manner. Examples of word-play, onomatopoeia, alliteration and other devices are also sometimes found in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), but not all that often. Poetic meter in the Tanakh sometimes appears too, but generally not for long passages. The feet (the length) of the poetic meter can last for a few words of a couple of verses. It can be stressed-unstressed-stressed-unstressed (iambic or trochaic), or stressed-unstressed-unstressed (anapestic or dactylic); or the two types can be consecutive, such as two or three feet of anapestic followed by a foot of trochaic. The first verse in the Song of Songs is an example of this. It goes: AbbAbAbbA (A indicates stressed; b indicates unstressed).
