Pentameter Pain

Iambic pentameter--such a pain,
                                                    Draining and straining this old poet's brain.

Danny, seems like you manage just fine. Knowing a few synonyms can help a lot. At least you write directly and to the point. I admire that in a poet. Smiles!!

gosh, my old brain, too, struggles with Iambic Pentameter...even in my younger days, it was not my favorite, but this poem is :-)

It came from the heart...after the brain gave up. LOL
