"Defined" is smart and economical, but it's doing intellectual work. What does that rhythm *feel* like? Show me her confidence.

"Defined" is clear, but it doesn't *feel* — it explains instead of showing us the confidence in that walk. What does that rhythm *sound* like to her?

"Defined" does the job—it's grammatically sound and makes sense. But it's telling us about the rhythm rather than *showing* us what it sounds like, feels like.
