Question
Okay this poem is making my head hurt! I have to find out its meter and rhyme scheme? I say its a iambic pentameter and made up of slant rhymes? Oh and the metrical variation in the first line is a trouche righttt??
Wild Nights -- Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile -- the Winds --
To a Heart in port --
Done with the Compass --
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden --
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor --
Tonight --In Thee!
Wild Nights -- Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile -- the Winds --
To a Heart in port --
Done with the Compass --
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden --
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor --
Tonight --In Thee!
Answers
It cannot be iambic <b>pentameter</b> because, if it were, each line would have 10 syllables in it. EACH LINE!
