Great job with your analysis, Renee - and a superb sample written by Kaitlyn! One thing folks might keep in mind is that this poetic form - the 3/4/3/4 ballad stanza - is so common they probably don't even realize some of their favorite poems and songs are written in precisely this form. Proof: the lyrics to Amazing Grace and the Gilligan's Island Theme can both be sung to each other's melodies - and this poem can be sung to both of THEIR melodies! (I hope your followers will try it!) Keep up the good work!
@LyricalLanguageLab3 жыл бұрын
Yup, the 4/3/4/3 ballad stanza is everywhere! I don't usually like to use songs as examples since they can be wonky, but Amazing Grace is a perfectly consistent example of this meter.

I applaud your dedication to poetry and the courage to write in a second language. However, since it IS a second language, I would recommend starting with free verse. Rhyme is difficult for first-language speakers and I feel it might hold you back. The sentiments expressed in the above poem are lovely but I feel the rhyme is keeping you from being able to express yourself completely and freely. Free verse is very liberating and beautiful!

How do you know the difference between a headless foot and an error?
@LyricalLanguageLab Жыл бұрын
Great question! It really comes down to experience ... and whether the line still flows smoothly. Generally speaking, a headless foot will work if the rest of your meter is solid. And remember that headless means the omission of UNSTRESSED beats. We can't play with the number of STRESSED beats once the meter is established, because that would really throw readers off. Be sure to always read your work out loud as you are composing to see how it flows.

Does this go for music also? Like writing lyrics?
@LyricalLanguageLab2 жыл бұрын
Great question! I'm no expert in lyrics, but I would say no. If I try to scan lyrics to any song, it just doesn't work out. Consider that any given syllable in a song can be held for many beats, while in metrical verse one syllable gets one beat (either stressed or unstressed).

Are rhymes always always always falling on a stressed beat, in all meters? If I have the anapestic line "and if YOU asked her GRANDson, he was SUREly an ODD one”, for example, wouldn’t the rhyme fall on the unstressed beat?
@LyricalLanguageLab11 ай бұрын
Hi, Daniel. YES, rhymes must always fall on a stressed beat no matter what meter it is. In your sample, I would not read those as rhyming words; rather, I would look to the LAST stressed syllable (GRAND and ODD) and think "Hey, those don't rhyme." The rhyme will not necessarily be on the last SYLLABLE of a line, but it will always be on the last STRESSED beat of a line. Here's a sample of two anapestic tetrameter lines with feminine endings (ending on an extra unstressed beat) to show you what I mean: the SNOW flurried DOWN and the WIND blew in BOLD-er / therm-OM-et-ers DROPPED and the NIGHTS became COLD-er. BOLD-er and COLD-er are perfect rhymes even though they end with an unstressed beat.
