Quintin Reda Poet Couplet

The Demonic Prince

The Demonic Prince

Demons
The legion of demons
They dwell
In the cold place of hell
Tempt thee
The depth of hell's empty
They're here
For it's time to spread fear
Black crows
Come out of the shadows
They mean
They mean to ruin thee
But who
The demon inside you

Split Couplet Variation:

- Iambic monometer
- Iambic trimeter

Rhyme Scheme:

- Coupled rhyme (AA, BB, CC, etc.)

Keeping Rhythm or Meter:

- The ti-tum rhythm is known as an iamb

- An iamb is a metrical foot

- An iamb is disyllabic

- An iamb has an unstressed syllable on the first sound and a stressed syllable on the second sound

An unstressed syllable sound:

- Lower
- Shorter
- Quieter

A stressed syllable sound:

- Higher
- Longer
- Louder

If the poetic meter of the poetic form is iambic monometer & iambic trimeter:

- Iambic means of or using iambs

- Monometer is a line of verse consisting of one metrical foot

- If an iamb is a metrical foot and the poetic meter is an iambic monometer, then it is simply just one iamb (ti-tum)

- Trimeter is a line of verse consisting of three metrical feet

- Again, if an iamb is a metrical foot and the poetic meter is iambic trimeter, then there are three iambs (ti-tum, ti-tum, ti-tum)
