THIS
SPACE IS (STILL) INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
<smile>
The Pacific
Ocean's right there . . . you make up the
rest.
Oh yeah, FYI, the bloody
Tea Time #23 BtVS Episode Of The Day is
#12- PROPHECY GIRL . . . And if anybody
bloody cares, the "poet,"
who's too sodding
busy in the TIP Lounge to come out here,
wrote
some sodding Shakesperean sonnets about
#12 at
tid=71591
Plenty
bloody "unblank" if you ask me, so I'll go ahead
and remind
everyone that there is FREE
BEER for now . . . but if any
of you get
wasted and go roller skating on the beach front
bike path
and see Marsters sunbathing or
anything like that . . . and come
to a quick
stop to google him . . . you can rest assured
somebody
will ride their sodding bike right
over your pathetic drunken
bones.
you
speak

Very interesting
quote. Another piece of literature I have not read.
*sigh* I really must work on that. I have to go eat
dinner now, but I'll be back later. Work your magic on
deciphering any clues from today's tea time.
Later,
*glow*

I just checked out
your "argument".Great!! I was reading something written
by Plato in Apology this morning.
"(T)o let no
day pass without discussing goodness and all the other
subjects about which you hear me talking and examining
both myself and others is really the very best thing
that a man can do, and that life without this sort of
examination is not worth living."

FP recommended I read,
"The Sounds of Poetry," by Robert Pinsky, specifically
page 13. I bought it and it was quite helpful, but I'll
check out Versification in Msn Encarta.
Thanks!

Try looking under
Versification in Msn Encarta. It outlines some of the
patterns of emphasis. Under sonnets there is some
explanation also.
I'm working on a 4 sonnet
sequence now.

I loved the "Prophecy
Girl" sonnet as well. Very insightful.

It's not the size of
the words I have a problem with, it's the stress. I
teach ESL for a living and teach word stress to the
students. Also, I have taken a few linguistic courses
that focussed on word stress, sentence stress and
intonation in regular speech patterns. In poetry the
word stress is different than that found in regular
speech problems. That is my problem because in IP there
is stress on function words e.g. 'is' and unstressed
syllables, e.g. grammatical suffixes, such as 'es'
endings as in punchES.

Yes , they were pretty
good.

Iknow what you mean
about IP. Just sticking to small words at first might
work.

I decided to join in
on tea time, but no iambic pentameter for me, just good
old fashioned haikus. :o)
I also loved FP's
sonnets today. They were absolutely
marvelous!
