Dave's the expert in meter but it looks good to me to. When the criteria measures feet, it is always easier to count in an iambic or strophic pattern. But the pattern isn't specified, only the number of feet. You vary the pattern and use one word I can barely pronounce. So counting the metric feet in your stanza one lines is a little tricky but once I mastered the word the count is spot on. Remember we use form to enhance the message, not the other way around and you consistently deliver. I love these exercises because they help hone the skills.
