Some quick iambs for the bard

They say writing anything helps you write better. I’m definitely a little sick with something, and worked late today, so this is all you get today. On another note, I am tutoring “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and quite enjoying Mr. Shakespeare:

10 syllables, consisting of 5 iambs. 

Each iamb is two little feet-

unstressed, stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed, stressed

Shakespeare

 

The bard/ did write/ the most/amaz/ing tales

And words,/the kind/which lov/ers like/to steal

Read here/to hear/the pass/ion of/his voice

And cel/ebrate/ his gen/ius with/much zeal:

“Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all:

What hast thou then more than thou hast before?

No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call;

All mine was thing before thou hadst this more.”

-Excerpt from Sonnet 400
