Stressed Out

stress syllables fill this song,and my feet maybe too long,

for ambiguity of rhythm I hold dear,so never fear..

if my poem makes you yawn,I'll soon return to open form

This was great fun. I Love how you made it about metrical feet instead of human feet. Very clever. DANG why didn't I think of that?? I'm happy you liked my Avalanche poem. Thanks for the placement!
