CLOSED - The Ultimate Poetry Challenge

The description there is clearly in error. Everyone knows that the iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da DUM):

plus The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, just to name a few sources.

The Shakespeare example basically follows the correct pattern, but not all stressed syllables are marked as such.

I have contacted the website to let them know.

Let the creativity flow from your soul!
