Default Re: iambs and trochees

Hi unregistered!


Those two were nice, but some words or pairs were a little awkward if we spontaneously read the poems.


Try Shakespeare's sonnet 18 as an example of an iamb.


"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day.
Thou art more lovely and more temperate..."


I'll give other examples on my next reply for iambs and trochees.
