<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Your rhythm is off and it's not meaningful because you wrote it to write it.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

AP English is a paradox in itself.


But I didn't write it to write it. An idea actually did pop up in my head, which is why I decided to put a stopwatch on myself to see how long it'd take me to make that idea into a poem. Also, it's iambic pentameter all the way through, except for the omission of one syllable at the beginning of the first and last (Never is it any less than mere) line.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

There's more than sixteen syllables in some lines of the poem, so I can't figure out how to say it.

You're looking at it all wrong. Poetry can't be analyzed; it's an art.

It's written, and I'm not sure what you call this, but the line pattern is ABCBBB. The A and C have sixteen syllables and the Bs merely need to rhyme.

I like how everyone here is showing their poetic abilities off and I'm the one related to one of the most famous poets and can only write song lyrics:(

Song lyrics are poetry too. Well, more like the skeleton of poetry, as in rhythm and rhyme. Not the flair of not-as-rigidly-rhythmic poetry.

What poet? And we all have our own skills. Frankly, I chalk it ip to me getting lucky and writing a decent one for once, as I am a barely capable writer.

You told me there was no rhythm. I told you there was, and what it was. Either way, when I write poetry iambic pentameter comes naturally. My two previous sonnets have been in that.

Describe to me that gun in 20 seconds, which are the intervals I need to post in sometimes for not-getting caught purposes. That's why. I also type slowly.

Can you blame him? The guy probably had one of the worst lives I have ever read about a real person having.
