It has a shape which we shall not forsake! |

So much of classical poetry is written in the meter called "Iambic Pentameter" that I feel it deserves its own In & Out. You can make it rhyme or not, make sense or not, be deep or not. WE DON'T CARE! Just make it Iambic and Pentametric and it's all good. In its strictest definition, every line has five 'feet', each foot being an 'iamb', or a pair of syllables in the rhythm "da-DUM". But in actual literature, the first foot is sometimes not an iamb, but an inversion. For example: NOW is / the WIN / ter OF / our DIS / con TENT/ made GLOR / ious SUM / mer BY / this SUN / of YORK. (you have to pronounce glorious "glor-yus" rather than "glor-ee-ous") So now that you know that this is a high-brow, Shakespearean thing, you know we have to be serious about it, right? HECK NO. Let's have fun with it instead! |
By gosh! It seems we have an In & Out! The pundits run amuck, then scream and shout! In Metric Verse we seek to frame our words, IAMBIC PENTAMETER challenge: I saunter in the wee hours of morning yearning for the perfect line and iamb yet when the day has begun its dawning I can merely sing psalms about The Lamb! - SOOKDEO, 06.07.2017 Total Displayed: 4 |
