Macaronics, Iambically
You Might agree: Iambic comes from Greek.
Italian Anapesto Also was
originally attic: Clipped and Meek,
the dactyl Acts as opposite, Because
its Rhythmus (German) Is the straight reverse,
runs Opposite, Contains what may be worse,
that’s Not one short, two long. Would you Abort
a poem If it ran one Long, two short?
The Césure (French) is Lame, a rhythm killer,
the Spanish harder Yet – the redondilla!
