That'd be Iambic Dimeter

OK, folks - It's July - Anybody got any requests??

Plant'm here... Marge - You coming in from the playground?

SmartChick - What would you like to do next? You were hummin' there on your iambics..

..and a formal Thank You to my Deer friend Balladeer for all the help he gave us this month... As it turned out, the latter part of the month got pretty chaotic for me at home, and Mike pitched in to help out... THANK YOU DEER...

What's for July, you guys????

Oh gee teacher, I don't know. What is Iambic Dimeter? I hope I can write another iambic. What is the difference in all the differnt iambic meters, if you don't mind me asking? I'm still having a lttle bit of trouble distinguishing stressed from unstressed syllables. Meters seem so hard to do.

Well ok if you insist. If you will tell me what a PARADELLE/SESTINA is, I might just give it a try. The IAMBIC METER was hard enough. Not even sure I can do that one again. But, I will give this one a try, if you will tell me how to do it.

Well, I ain't doin' no paradelle

And you would come up with a sestina just a month or two after I accidently wrote one of those beasts while attempting something else

and flunked the class.

I think I'm out this month, I don't think paradelles and sestinas mix very well with sheep. LOL

I need an example of this. It may take me the whole month to get this one. If, I can do it at all. LOL!

Dear Nan,
Seems like (in another life) I may have attemted these two torturous, troublesome(not to mention) tremendously tricky and twisted forms. Would it be permissible to throw in some alliteration too ?
