Forms of Verse: Exercise 3

[packbat]

The writing-in-meter one. There were six forms in which I was instructed to compose a single line (no hard task): pure iambic, pure trochaic, trochaic with catalexis (i.e. final unaccented syllable/syllables dropped), pure anapestic, pure dactylic, and dactylic with catalexis. They gave examples of each, from which a reader could deduce the proper accentual form.

As I predicted, these lines inspired poems. Five poems, to be exact; most of them incomplete, all of them needing editing. Be sure that they will be posted here when they are complete.
