Sonnets are one of my favourite forms! Here’s the lowdown... I hope you learn something from this video, and don’t forget to check the description for your free guide on becoming a complete and working poet!

I am a musician and I say that poetry can be more musical than a short story can be no matter how many poetic devices such as alliteration a short story struggles to emulate by using them. In those days of yore music and poetry were tied to each other. My graduation paper was about "The Raven" and how musically poetic this poem by Poe is. It was a work in which I had to put a certain effort but it was pretty cool on doing it.

Does the iambic metre count syllables of a word? Say you use the word “someone” that would be a full deDUM right?

Indeed it does!

For now I am stuck on Haikus but I will try to make a sonnett later.

Just my view... Where once iambic passed for heightened speech Today trochaic better seals the breach.

Hi Todd, that’s fair enough. I just meant poetry and metre in general. Maybe I’ll do a video on good old Troches soon!

@@AdamGaryPoetry I just got a villanelle published in The Road Not Taken. I'd call it trochaic pentameter with a catalectic endline. I understand some will consider it iambic pentameter with a clipped beginning. What do you think? Odysseus' Afterwords Darling Circe, leading me to sin. As I rest my head between your thighs Whisper me what beast I would've been. Ichor pulses cool beneath your skin. By this deathless blood you mesmerize. Darling Circe, leading me to sin. Turning sailors into Otherkin. Some to ursinate, some leonize. Whisper me what beast I would've been. Kiss you up and down your eight foot ten. Let's again before this morning dries. Darling Circe, leading me to sin. Would my sweat bead up a dorsal fin? Does my tongue inspire butterflies? Whisper me what beast I would've been. Now again to taste the light within, Stir your repertoire of little cries. Darling Circe, leading me to sin. Whisper me what beast I would've been.

Todd Jackson haha yes an easy mistake to make. I get them mixed up easily if I don’t keep a close eye on what I’m doing! Congrats on the villanelle. I’m yet to give them a crack myself! 👍
