A card in your sleeve for the test

Can I ask you a question? What's Iambic pentameter? What are the differences between Trochee and Spondee? err...

Well, here's something fancy I found: this easy nursery rhyme will cover some of your scores in the test. Muhahaha

Good luck with the test, E/AMP students of 1st/2nd year!

"Rhythmic Beat"

Iamb
Two syllables
short and long
for the time of year to see,

Trochee
Another two syllables
long and short
waiting for me to be,

Anapest
Three syllables
with intensity to
climb and see the tree,

Dactyl
With three syllables
that stress to pensive long
in the forests of time
where pines no longer grow, for

Spondee
For two or more
consecutive, stressed syllables-
That - Hears, hears hears
the cold grey wind, upon the sea!

If you're bored or don't understand it, No worries!

Read these! They have nice examples. Iamb (I-amb), Trochee (Tro-kee), Anapest (A-na-pest), Dactyl (means "finger") and Spondee.
