IAMBIC PENTAMETER Sounds BIG and SCA ry, BUT what DOES it MEAN?

Syllables English words have clear syllables. We can usually divide words into syllables easily. We can also determine which syllables to emphasize, or “ stress ” in each word.  For example: Angel = AN-gel  (not an-GEL) Complete = com-PLETE  (not COM-plete)

More Syllables poem = PO-em……. (1 stressed + 1 unstressed) poetry = PO-e-try……. (1 stressed + 2 unstressed) relief = re-LIEF……. (1 unstressed + 1 stressed) recommend = re-com-MEND……. (2 unstressed + 1 stressed) discomfort = dis-COM-fort… (1 unstressed + 1 stressed + 1 unstressed) entertainment = en-ter-TAIN-ment (2 unstressed + 1 stressed + 1 unstressed)

Poetic Meter Meters are the rhythms within poems. stressed Meters are the arrangement of stressed/ unstressed syllables to occur at apparently equal intervals. Metered verse has prescribed rules as to the number and placement of syllables used per line.
