IAMBIC PENTAMETER


Iambic Pentameter, Shakespeare's domain
Writing his fabulous verse in
His verse as delicious as Chinese Lo Mein
Both which I love to immerse in

I never quite knew about metrical feet
Five of which make a pentameter
Iambic's a word that could make me retreat
Back to my naive parameter

Shakespeare's deft employment
Of his pent-a-metered guile
Offers much enjoyment
In iam-bi-calic style

You know what? I too wrote a little verse about iambic pentameters! That was some months ago. It is called Anna Pest (Anna, that's me) and, if you're curious, you can find it here:
