Hey there 🙂
I have decided to explore a few different types of poetry while the kids are off (I am hoping to get back to some short stories come the 8th of January). I found this site that sets each type forward in layman’s terms.
Today I also looked at this YouTube video explaining the complexities of Iambic Pentameter (ten syllables to a line, an unstressed one followed by a stressed one, in five pairs) and decided to attempt some Blank Verse (a poem which does not rhyme but uses iambic pentameter) 😉
Suddenly I was right back in the lecture halls of Stirling University…
I thought of you in perfect rhyme, but did
Not tell my pen; who has her own sweet mind.
Instead, pink-scrawled, I think she formed iambs.
(Though Blank Verse baffles me, it must be said).
