The iamb is a unit of poetic meter (foot) consisting of one relatively lightly stressed syllable followed by one relatively heavily stressed syllable. It may be constructed from two single-syllable words, such as "we BUILD/ a FIRE/ and ROAST/," or single two-syllable words, such as "in-VITE," "con-CLUDE," and "es-CAPE." A single word may contain multiple iambic feet, as in "par-TIC/-i-PATE/" and "ac-COMP/-lish-MENT/." An iambic foot can also be found bridging two words: "ro-MAN/-tic ES/-cap-ADES/." Because the iambic rhythm is more compatible with the natural flow of speech in the English language, it has become the principle sound pattern of traditional English poetry.
ASSIGNMENT: Write a poem about some special occasion using iambic meter. Let the creativity flow from your soul!  Dave |
