Thank you, in advance, for your indulgence.
This British Maiden, she is confus-ed,
Despite the research she hath pursu-ed:
One foot, two foot -- no, tis five times two feet!
A prosody that tempts the rhyme t'cheat.
(Though blank verse seems a trick quite neat!)
As Tiggy said, it's all about the beat!
So my lords and ladies, band of bold bards --
Herein have I laid all of these, my cards.
Take pity on this befuddled seeker,
Is _this_ in iambic pentameter?
HL Esther of Ennis Merth
(My dictionary said that the last rhyme is correct, though I think that would depend on accent and region of the world where you learned your English. pen TAM e ter)
