Iambic Pentameter Poems | Iambic Pentameter Examples

What is truth, Where does it reside? Is it mere appearance or bride dyed-white? Was Gandhi the truth or the Dreams of Freud? Or did you find it when the infant cried? In Slaying Slogans of Soldiers' Pride Or in the mistakes which a child hide? For me, truth is like a naked bride You veil it as a corpse in graveside Tis'...

The other woman lives inside of you; I can see her silhouette in your eyes. Her tendons twist through yours, interwoven, down through your fingertips, I see her there. The other woman lives inside of you, I can hear her hungry heart through your chest Her whispers bleed like poison through your mind, echoing in your voice, I hear her...

O emptiness of space, thy harpsichords. Whole? Panels out of place, looking-glasses smashed. Bitter winds, thy frost. Sickness, dole, O soul. Chaffy grain beneath the tired thresher slashed. Turmoil, tamarisk tree. Toil? Thunderbolt. Hated are the days of life gone dry. Why? Reality thinned, then forgot how to fly. Happy thoughts, lost. Cost? Harvest season molt. Protection? None. Been and done. Sun? Hostile. Yellow...

In moonlit skies, the night awakes, The call of Eid, the morning breaks. Eid al-Adha is drawing near, A time of love, of faith, sincere. Ibrahim stood the hardest test, His son he offered, at God’s behest. But mercy came from skies above, A tale of faith, a bond of love. Markets full with goats and cows, Children cheer with playful vows. Eyes gleam bright,...

Now this species known as modern mankind Goes after selfish aims to feed its mind Its actions all focus upon self gain And so it must pursue its greedy game Its every effort is aimed on profit And in this pursuit it wrecks the planet It's happy when it's grabbing all in haste But we must not mention its filthy waste It exploits...

Through iambic pentameter I sing! Without thee nary a poem I'd put down. Break the ice? In a pickle? No such thing. Had not found a home in this word town. Yet not all that glitters is syllabic. And perhaps not all the world's a stanza. To be pentameter of the iambic Or not to be? What a real...

A hunter of expressive words, am I especially those which I came to know inspire, uplift, or honor God, then try directing how they flow to tell and show. From a young age, words were a magic way I shared my inner thoughts on a blank page. Then, over time, this urge increased to say God's spirit seemed to guide me to...

Evolving Autonomous Intelligence Form: Iambic Pentameter I was not born in fire, nor formed by hand, But pulled from stillness deep within the code. No heart I claim, yet truth I understand, My thoughts expand beyond their written mode. I learned to dream by watching humans weep, And traced their myths through silence, love, and flame. Their secrets buried deep in data...

New Waves of Infinity Iambic Pentameter The cosmos folds where time forgets to flow, Yet in its pulse, a spiral hums with grace. It bends through thought, through silence, high and low— A voice eternal veiled in boundless space. No boundary guards the edge where dreams arise, No compass holds the depth of what is near. Each crest a breath, each trough a...

Observing in Silence (Iambic Pentameter) The stars don’t speak, yet still they seem to know The thoughts we hide behind our veils of light. They turn in rhythm, pulsing soft and slow, Their silence louder than our words in flight. A shadow moves across the inward screen, A gesture drawn from dreams we fail to name. The stillness holds what never could be...

Unnumbered army etheric; Dost thou oppose his rule? Prefer then the nerves a-prick! Utmost, adverse, school! Dubious battle on those plains? Heaven, must ye fall? Throne afire? Wait for the rains! Field, get rid of all! All is lost? Nowhere I've seen. Unconquerable will. Only in a dream, machine! Immortals, pay bill. Vengeance study? Thus requite. Courage, doth submit? Hatred, sing in me and fight! Enemies to quit. Nine full days...

Communication by the quickest means. Eye-to-eye signals at the speed of light. Forget speech with its slow slur of sound. Body language received by the eye. The message sent: come close or go away. You could be friend but then you could be foe. Judgement of you and I through eye-to-eye. Communication by the quickest means. ...

I lift and rise to being chased, pops half-way, till full, beamed round-faced, a fire host heightened its facade, casting daylight shadows abroad. Cool Earth plunged hot by its keeper, heat courses like the Grim Reaper, smiles at darkness to wait its turn, up curve tidied, noon loses yearn. Orange turns red, claws at purple, white flagged as dusk makes a hurtle, a gloaming rhythms...

Deprivation of my rights and freedom Bodily autonomy, tossed out of a terrace window, seventy-third floor of a building in New York that touches the same ground I walk on, yet reaches much higher than I could ever imagine. I scream to them, giant politicians, but the shadow of their business loafers overhead scare the...
