Messing around with Iambic Pentameter

reading julius ceasar, would be so much more interesting if it rhymed

I never thought I'd ever meet someone 

who thought the rain-clouds better than the sun

and here you come along and just to say

you wish the rain would wash it all away

life must have treated you rough and unkind

to render you so hardhearted and blind

why would you ever expect me to leave 

I thought you would have had more faith in me

I guess that's what I get for caring so

And if you wish then I guess I'll go

My English teacher said that trying to write in iambic pentameter was hard well you proved him wrong and did a wonderful job of it. Keep up the awesome work :)

I like iambic pentameter. I'm glad you are into experimenting classic forms of poetry, Anna. This is good but I believe you can still improve this. Keep us posted.

thank you.

Rhyme and meter, meter and rhyme, you seem to have exercised or exorcised your scheming words quite well but only wear them if they are comfortable.

[Annabelle Lee]

Thank you .

It's greek to me, I see where you were going with this one Annabelle, bit different from your usual satirical pen....the last line is kind of flat, I agree.

[Annabelle Lee]

Iambic pentameter is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one

[Frieda P]

I googled it's still Greek to me...

You're hilarious, mother nutter. :P

Ha I'm not one for poetic parameters, you know I just follow the muse around aimlessly ;-P

[Blue]

And see where your muse takes you! Poetry paradise! :)

[Frieda P]

Ha thanks, sometimes, other times it just messes with my head. ;-)

[Blue]

Which explains your nutter-ness? :P

[Frieda P]

That or my mother always told me she dropped my on my head as a baby, she said that explained a lot haha
