Pass it around if you have friends or relatives interested in this kind of poetry. Check out Spider, Spider or, if you want modern Iambic Pentameter, try My Bridge is like a Rainbow or Come Out! Take a copy to class if you need an example of Modern Iambic Pentameter. One of the reasons I write these posts is so that a few readers, interested in meter and rhyme, might want to try out my poetry. After you’ve read up on Iambic Pentameter, take a look at some of my poetry.

Febru– If you enjoy Frost, you might like reading Birches along with a c o l o r c o d e d scansion of Birches included in my post on Frost’s Mending Wall. The opposite of an Iambic Meter, by the way, is a Trochaic Meter – I’ve looked at an example by Burns and, more successfully, Millay. I have also written a Guide to Haiku and three follow up guides, Iambic Variants, an examination of Shakespeare’s Iambic Pentameter Sonnet 116, the soliloquy To be or not to be, his Iambic Tetrameter 145, and his furious 129, the meter of Emily Dickinson, and Thomas Middleton’s Blank Verse (this last post examining some outlying Iambic Pentameter variants). New: The Writing & Art of Iambic Pentameter. Revised, tweaked and improved March 24 2009.
