  1. 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.

    I'm #excited by this possibility! To keep within the #design and #audience of my site, the #design #guidelines are:

    * maximum 350 words
    * in #iambic #pentameter
    * any language you wish, but include a translation into 1+ of: Old #Aramaic, #Sumerian, or #Enochian

    Rates start at a reasonable USD 35,000 / month with a 12-month contract.

    Looking forward to working with you.

  3. 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.

  4. @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.

  5. 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.

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

    Please boost to your cw friends.

  7. 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?

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

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