在「米哈波橋」一詩中，格律和音韻是兩個建立詩文韻律的主要原素。這首詩的格律，因有別於傳統的形式，其所組織的文意及其對閱讀的挑戰可從兩個陎象來了解︰其一是格律與句子長度之間所展現的張力，賦予詩句韻律的價值，因為格律的需求迫使句子被排擠或跨行；其二是這個格律系統，因為是一種複合的格律，因此在全詩中製造出一種雙重的韻律，也因此改變了詩文字陎上單純的意義。在這樣的韻律框架下，音韻得以重組隱喻而吟詠出新的句調，再創新的意境。

Metrics and prosody are in Appollinaire‘s poem Le pont Mirabeau the two main factors of its poetic rhythm. This metrics, far from being purely conventional, contributes to the semantic structure of the poem, and constitutes a challenge to its reading, both through a tension between metrics and syntax, by creating diverse enjambements, which emphasize the rhythm of the verse, and because the metrical system, which is indeed a polymetrics, pervades the whole poem with a rhythmical ambiguity which blurs the usual meaning of words. In such a rhythmical context, prosody redistributes the metaphoric material into phrasing, composes a poetic reality.
