What dream or dreams do you want to write about?
1. Read through several links on this webpage:

Ten syllables in each line is often called iambic pentameter (meaning there are 5 "feet" of two syllables each, and the second syllable in each foot is stressed. Here's more explanation and some examples:
Shakespeare's sonnets are written predominantly in a meter called iambic pentameter, a rhyme scheme in which each sonnet line consists of ten syllables. The syllables are divided into five pairs called iambs or iambic feet. An iamb is a metrical unit made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. An example of an iamb would be good BYE. A line of iambic pentameter flows like this:
baBOOM / baBOOM / baBOOM / baBOOM / baBOOM.
Here are some examples from the sonnets:
When I / do COUNT / the CLOCK / that TELLS / the TIME (Sonnet 12)
When IN / dis GRACE / with FOR / tune AND / men’s EYES
I ALL / a LONE / be WEEP / my OUT/ cast STATE (Sonnet 29)
Shall I / com PARE/ thee TO / a SUM / mer's DAY?
Thou ART / more LOVE / ly AND / more TEM / per ATE (Sonnet 18)

Ms.Sue about a dream at wonder world or anything like that
What is Wonder World? If you post something about it, I may be able to get you started with your poem.
Leave the wonder world, could you please write a poem about a dream that is based on a: You are in a ship and there is a storm, huge waves go on you, you are the captain and the water drowns you at the end. If you help that well be really appreciated.
The ship was tossed on very high seas;
The violent pitching threw me to my knees.
Take it from there.
The violent pitching threw me to my knees.
Take it from there.
Could you plz do a few more lines
I could, but I won't deprive you of the education involved in writing your own poem.
Besides, as you can see, I'm a lousy poet.
