Teach me something. For my more traditional poetry writers, hell, even the more modern one’s, I have questions.
Is there any way to break down, in lamens terms, the similarities, and differences, between stressed, and unstressed syllables?
I’m attaching a picture. If anyone is willing , and doesn’t mind, can we break this down for me? I have realized that, while I’ve written many poems, I couldn’t tell you what any of this, in the picture, means.
Also, I want to know, because I want to be more educated when it comes to writing poetry.
Thanks Poets, and Poetess’. Y’all are the real MVPs!


Oh gawd. I know nothing of poetry and it always makes me feel dizzy and overwhelmed, it seems so complicated. Good luck, I have no idea how to stress/unstrrss words. Maybe put them in bold or italics?
