What this guy just said lol
start w/ the first line, count syllables and divide into feet Ima | gina| tion! who| can sing| thy force identify the stress pattern. start w/ the word "imagination." which syllables are stressed and which are not? you can try looking up a pronunciation guide if you're having trouble (sometimes syllable patterns in poetry are a bit different than standard English to make a certain meter fit) then based on the stress pattern and # of feet per line, name the meter type
