She was a plain homespun girl. She wore everyday clothing. She was his precious Pearl He spoke of them betrothing. She wore everyday clothing. Her hair was unadorned. If she was away he mourned. She was his precious Pearl She was not sophisticated. He thought that was overrated. He spoke of them betrothing. Her smile was very plain. He yearned to see her again.

I can't even produce a sentence in any kind of meter - it's beyond me. However I did learn that the dictionary indicates which bit of the word is stressed... Other than the da dum da dum tune I know nothing more :)

ok - well I wrote this to see if it was Iambic tetrameter which is a poetic meter in ancient Greek and Latin poetry; as the name of a rhythm, iambic tetrameter consists of four metra, each metron being of the form | x – u – |, consisting of a spondee and an iamb, or two iambs. But I don't think it is. What do you reckon dear Poetic Guru? :))
