Thanks for the notes.
At the moment I still don't understand my mistakes, but
I will study your notes and let's hope it sinks in. LOL.
Okay, until the next tea time, I bid you

Hi, glow . . . I
wouldn't play schoolmarm <g> unless you wanted me
to. <smile>
Here's my notes about your
iambic pentameter lines. Yes, it can be a
little
tricky working out a line of 10 syllables that
have the accents in the right
place.
The benefit of these rhetorical
exercises for me (and it may turn out that
way
for your as well) is that it forces me to think
of different ways of saying something ...
and
different things that might be said... with the
requirement that they be true.
Yada yada
yada <smile> . . . Here are my strictly
technical notes on your lines.
(This is just
about getting the accents in the right place for iambic
pentameter.)

Okay I'll start it.
Hopefully they won't remember me from last night. Now I
must think of a good thread title that they won't bother
entering. Should I just title it as a new beginnings
thread or do you have a suggestion.

Sure, please make more
detailed notes. I always have difficulty with the stress
in Shakespearean sonnets. I'm assuming it has nothing to
do with content words or regular speech patterns because
I teach ESL and I teach stress and intonation to my
students and there are rules to follow for putting
stress on a word, so I'm thinking that sonnets are
totally different. Otherwise I'm a crappy ESL teacher.
LOL. Also, the syllable counting throws me off too,
because usually when you add -ed to the end of a verb it
adds an extra syllable sound, but sometimes it doesn't.
Again, exceptions to the rule. Okay I've blathered on
enough.

ka-BOOM,

Be sure to get the BOOMs in the
right place.
And only let ten syllables
appear
on any line you write in Shakespeare's
form.

The Marti's singing

And Fury sounded like

Why didn't Joss sing and join in

And have his shining moment in the

My regards to "the

hath never been strict or overly
attentive...
If it displeases our gentle
friend,
be lief I'll take my leave at

rather than offend any with bad

We are but the stuff dreams are made of,
and after all,
I cannot be gifted in

Forensic Popouri has
rules for tea,
Responses and queries must have form
see.
Write sonnets or haikus it's up to
you,
These poetic styles follow their own
rule.
Shakespearean sonnets parameter
is in
the iambic pentameter.
The poem called Haiku I
choose to use
Three lines long and syllables are the
cues.
(Couplets in iambic pentameter, I
think?)

Then play along,
let violins sob,
harps offer lame comfort,
and audition qualified
singers...

Back in the
"lighter" days . . . when they had fun
the
characters would lightly mock themselves . .

. . . or rather mock the show itself with
glee.
Postmodern referential stuff, you
see.

were filled with tunes
galore
I might become bored.
(2) At
first I would smile,
and memorise each song
sung,
until all I could...

my head were
Buffy songs or melody.
My mind would

The big
point that I want to raise is this:
Is there some
new way to do
musicals?
two lines of
unrhymed iambic pentameter: i.e., blank
verse

steady repast since I was but a

methinks I like
best
the OCCASIONAL music (in episode)
after
all,
the characters must be held
to some
dramatics
where music may NOT suit...
