Question

Can someone please help me with this? Write a couplet in trochaic pentameter.

Answer 1

Do you know what trochaic meter is?
Here is an example of a couplet in trochaic pentameter:

Dutchman is the best on Open Study,
Ask a question he will answer promptly!

Yet, you have to make up your own ;-)

Answer 2

It is a pattern of stressed then unstressed beats.

Answer 3

Exactly, usually noted as: DUM da

So you have to write two lines (a couplet) using this stress pattern 5 times in a row (pentameter), like I did in my previous post.
