  1. Be thee not bored with longish verse, but short!
    I even give thee chance for brief retort.
    The web extinguished man's attention span;
    Hence this, our fine abbreviated plan.

  3. Two friends - one accumulating weight and binging on Turkish soap operas. The other fit and reading Heidegger. And loving each other despite.

    One weeps at a telenovela’s dramatic confession,
    The other sobs over Heidegger’s lack of a conclusion.

    They tried couple’s therapy—lasted one breath—
    “Your Dasein is fine, but who’s gonna share my fries?”

    They exercise together: one jogs, one cheers from a chair,
    With chips, a fan, and a Turkish drama on air.😆

  4. Woah.

    I keep finding myself writing in iambic pentameter. Just naturally, not intentionally, just because it flows with such a nice rhythm.

    This might yet explain my tendency to finish sections, with a rhyming couplet that expresses my affections.

  8. @strange_new_words I had no idea about the #correlation between #iambic #pentameter and the #human heart.

    I just listened to Ghirawen's heart. It's the same thing for #kangaroos.

    I wonder whether #Russian #hearts are the same as #humans?

    Amazing.

  10. Although I love the anapest,
    The iamb’s where I do my best.
    My syllables of sixty-four
    Make perfect squares. But sometimes more
    And sometimes less will do just fine,
    As long as there’s four beats per line—
    Such precedent to break the rules
    Is not unique to modern schools.

  12. My first poetry post this year presents Lord Alfred Tennyson's poem "Ring Out, Wild Bells"—one of the perfect poems for the beginning of a new year.

    In the post, I've included a brief lesson on #scansion and #iambic metre. Don't worry, they don't bite, I promise! And as always, there's a brief vocabulary exercise for English language learners.

  13. When sending #MorseCode with an #Iambic keyer, which iambic mode do you use?

    Please boost to your cw friends.

  15. Been looking at the two modes for #Iambic #MorseCode #keying (A and B). It seems like people are setting up their keyers with the “dit” on alternating sides. Which is the standard way to set up the paddles?

  17. Which iambic mode does everyone use for keying #MorseCode ? #Iambic A or B? I think I have only used A.

  19. @joshbressers Pentameter is ten syllables. Iambic is the stress on the second syllable of each foot. That seems to be neither #iambic nor #pentameter.
