I found this practical approach to writing iambic pentameter very interesting. Although much of it is specific to that form, I think a lot of the concepts are generally applicable to verse writing. This is a useful tool in any writer's toolkit, even if you're not specifically writing poetry or stylized video games. A working understanding of the rhythm of text and how to align it with its meaning can do a lot to improve the flow even of pure prose, and understanding it better will certainly increase your appreciation of verse works like Shakespeare.
