SPECIAL NOTE RE: ALEXANDRINE POETIC FORM
Alexandrine emphasizes the rhythmic sound accentuated in the 6th and 12th syllabic stressed points, per line. A single word easily identifies the rhythmic sound syllabic stressed point. That happened only on the first line. However, on the second line, they were hidden within their multi-syllabic words. Those words were 'scru(ti)nize' and 'kar(ma)'. The 'ti' sound as the word 'tea', giving it an 'E' assonance sound; however, the following syllable 'nize' gave it a 'N' consonance sound as in 'nuh' and not 'nee' as in the word 'knee', which would have maintained the 'E' assonance sound. But that was not the case, as 'ti' changed to 'tuh', which was affected by the 'N' consonance of 'nuh'. Hence, 'ti' of 'E' became 'tuh' as in the 'A' assonance, and we will focus on that aspect, being the 6th syllabic stress point to balance with the 12th syllabic sound found in the multi-syllabic word 'kar(ma)', giving it the 'A' assonance. In conclusion, scru'tuh'nize and kar'ma' became an authentic Alexandrine poetic form as the second line (and my first line) became rhythmic sound syllabic stressed points in the 6th and 12th syllables.
