MARY WROTE A LITTLE POEM

Mary had a little iamb

Unstressed and stressed it flowed,

And when this little poet wrote,

The words would, measured, go.

She followed that with a trochée

Which was not against the rule;

It helped avoid the sing-song play

Of a poem she wrote in school.

My poem on the "iamb":

IAMB: a Jealous God, quoth He,
I'll quash your spontaneity!
My foot confuses
Would-be Muses,
And stresses most distressingly!

[Kaa Na Kalyanasundaram]
