Sash,

Those ten syllable lines are known
as iambic pentemeter.

The thing is that its more a count than syllables.

They are actually called feet.

If you read the words you can hear the beat
and when you get to ten then you are done.

I just love what you do with form poetry.

I will try to get mine in here tonight.

Jess, you got something going here hot stuff.

thanks,
andy

Not even a little bit of a start, but then, the Muse ever did desert me. She likes to make me look bad! I'm so impressed with what has been posted, and thanks so much for posting, y'all! Love, Jess [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
