Ok! So, most of it is not going to be perfect.....but I did get your attention!
Blame this thread on PNHT, he made me do it. Here at AWpoetry forums, we've talked all around technical/form issues regarding writing poetry. Well, this is one of those threads where we get to "flex our form" so to speak.
PNHT got me to reading The Ode Less Travelled - Unlocking The Poet Within by Stephen Fry and wa lah!, I was inspired to start this thread.
Our working definition will come out of TOLT, as mentioned previously, and is as follows: "exactly ten syllables and five iambic feet (five stresses on the even-numbered beats) to the line. It's as simple as that, two lines of iambic pentameter........come on, you know we can do it.
You go first.
