Strictly, if you are doing iambic pentameter, you should keep the 10 syllables per line, following the stress as required. But that is quite a challenge, so I thought of just using the rhyming pattern first.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213172239590722747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-82764204430810124732013-06-09T11:08:29.789-05:002013-06-09T11:08:29.789-05:00Does Marian have her comments closed or am I over...Does Marian have her comments closed or am I overlooking them?<br />Janine Bolléehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857073674960699155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-89564367935477973822013-06-09T10:29:01.035-05:002013-06-09T10:29:01.035-05:00Hmmm.
