dependency of meter on dialect

[Smiffy]

I'm curious to know how much meter can vary between two people growing up with different dialects of english.

How can I be sure that what I write will sound correct to another person's ear? Or is it impossible to ensure a universal reading?

I may be totally wrong here but I have posted poems here where critique has said it does not scan, problem with meter but when I read it myself it scans ok so I'm guessing it is not so much a dialect thing as a persons own speech pattern or the poet knowing which sylables to stress on . Sticking to nine or ten sylables per line works for me most of the time. I think the rythym is in the words not the accent. My thoughts ,usually wrong
