unstressed,
with free
             rein,
in the
     realm
of tomorrow
beyond 
         the obscure,
unmoored
in 
    the  actual,
riding
    the fires 
of imagination 
by
    the impetus
of
  my mind

Branded Written: by Miracle Man 8-10-2017 Uninvited thoughts from times departed, Reverberate from mind’s obscure corners, Residue from days long ago; Ghost mutterings of clock and location, When San Diego’s surf was up, My time of life was young, And life unstressed, Before age launched its claim on me;

Premium Member Facing the Red Sea

As a child, this reoccurring dream haunted. When I would run from a monster chasing me Then he'd reach out to grab, I'd fly undaunted. As time went by, from those dreams seemed free. Now knowing it was death, I face the red sea
Of course, as you can tell. I have no idea about stressed and unstressed syllables. LOL

Sonnet

So short a song it’s with
six, after eight, lines to 
settle strife - lovers’ sighs…
Stresses follow unstressed
syllables, and rhyming
smoothly runs, with final 
short tail, wrapping the tale.

Premium Member Creamy White Dappled With Gray

Magnolia blossoms creamy white dappled with gray
Sway the day from foggy veil sprinkled across way

The contrast creamy white against waxy green leaves
Adds beauty brightening life upon summer's humid eve 

Unfinished and may never be finished...

Trying to do Hexameter: 
Twelve syllables per line with it reading unstressed/ stressed...
Very difficult to have to look up every word since I would not pronounce these 
words like they are suppose to be accented..
