CRITICAL ... A-claim a lesson in iambing and enjambing ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've just been blocked, it's left me vexed I can't read crap you're posting next oh me, oh my, oh, come on sport I guess you don't want my report well, that's okay, I will not coach as there are some beyond reproach and though you tout impressive rank you don't quite have it in the tank but loud you trill with foolish need to ego stroke as you will feed and languish in the shallow fluff alas, that means you've had enough of my critique in lengthy rows so go pump hands where bullshit flows hey, I'm not pointing loaded gun this site is here for everyone and isn't what we crave and seek a fair assessment with critique? It's what you get, no rating change I have no need to re-arrange my forthright, honest, metered words that polished up your off beat turds assisting for a length of time to strengthen glory in your rhyme more flourish offered to your song yet pride would have you say I'm wrong no help you would accept from me well bask in four's finality your effervescence lacked the fizz I'm sorry, that's the way it is and last up sport, yeah here it comes I write in proper da's and DUMS (C)ritique That! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

No, I am not feeling vexed, nor have I been blocked ... well, not THIS week. LMAO
However I may be vaguely irritated.
Can you tell?
Honestly, some authors need to learn to take criticism on the chin, no matter how specific.
Inspite of abuse, vilification and muting or blocking, the good reviewer somehow still seems inspired to share
what they know if they think it may assist with genuine improvement. Nothing more.
This poem is written in iambic tetrameter and displays the correct da DUM placement.
There is also an example of enjambment.
Iambic tetrameter = 8 syllables with 4 pairs of iambic feet ie. daDUM daDUM daDUM daDUM
A common misconception around here is that writing to a syllable count gives correct flow and meter. NOT so.
It's the IAMBS or syllablic stresses that are critical to meter and flow in a structured format such as this.
Meanings:
IAMB = the pair of syllablic feet (da DUM) in which one unstressed syllable is followed by one stressed
syllable. ie. beFORE
"ENJAMBMENT" refers to the breaking of a syntactic unit (a phrase, clause, or sentence) by the end of a line or
between two verses.
The term is directly borrowed from the French enjambement, meaning straddling or bestriding. Sometimes also
referred to as a "run-on line".
Hmmm...I guess I've "run on" long enough. LOL
