Woah.

I keep finding myself writing in iambic pentameter. Just naturally, not intentionally, just because it flows with such a nice rhythm.

This might yet explain my tendency to finish sections, with a rhyming couplet that expresses my affections.

"Son of the chief of generous steeds! high-bounding king of spears. Strong arm in every perilous toil. Hard heart that never yields. Chief of the pointed arms of death. [Cut down the foe] ... Son of the chief of generous steeds, cut down the foe; destroy." #ossian #iambic

With lights and fire, and celebration
The show's a trip; pure psychedelic.
Download the app, cause every nation
Has sent along its most #angelic,
Most fave, best loved diva ascendant.
Can't pay? don't vote, you may still complain---
Jurors misjudge, dis your contestant.
Alone and sad, or together in pain
The world with you awaits decision.
Bate breath, bite nails, in anticipation
Til fate anoints Queen #Eurovision!

Although I love the anapest,
The iamb’s where I do my best.
My syllables of sixty-four
Make perfect squares. But sometimes more
And sometimes less will do just fine,
As long as there’s four beats per line—
Such precedent to break the rules
Is not unique to modern schools.

In the post, I've included a brief lesson on #scansion and #iambic metre. Don't worry, they don't bite, I promise! And as always, there's a brief vocabulary exercise for English language learners.
