Question

Please help!!!
How do you write a meter poem???

Answer 1

Write one iamb – one unstressed syllable and one stressed – on each line until you have 10 syllables in iambic pentameter. Repeat for the next three lines, making sure the last syllable of line one rhymes with the end of line three, and the end of line two rhymes with the end of line four.

Answer 2

how do yo know if the the word is unstressed or stressed? @Tronedude

Answer 3

Most words that are made up of more than one syllable have at least one stressed syllable and one unstressed syllable. The stressed syllables are the ones which are emphasized, or spoken more loudly. The unstressed syllables are not emphasized; they are not spoken as loudly.

Answer 7

For example, say the word "emphasize" aloud. Which syllables were pronounced most loudly? You probably could hear that em was spoken more loudly than pha, and hopefully you noticed that size was also spoken more loudly than pha. This means thatem and size were stressed syllables, and pha was unstressed.

Answer 8

EM pha SIZE
