Narrative Communal Non-rhyming 4-Foot Iambic Quatrains!
 

{NOTE TO NEWCOMERS: BY POPULAR DEMAND, THIS THREAD HAS BEEN UPGRADED SINCE ITS INCEPTION FROM COUPLETS TO QUATRAINS}

We've mastered the trochee, now it's time for the iambs!!

As trochees are two-syllables with the accent on the FIRST, iambs are two-syllables with the accent on the LAST (i.e., TRO-chee / i-AMB).

Four-foot trochaic line:
TUM ta / TUM ta / TUM ta / TUM ta
SMART-y / PANTS you / ARE an/ ID-jit

Four-foot iambic line:
ta TUM / ta TUM / ta TUM / ta TUM
show SMART / -y PANTS / the FARK / -ing DOOR

THREAD INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Each line is FOUR iambs in a row.

2. These are QUATRAINS - FOUR lines complete the poem

3. Communal - One line per person.

4. No rhymes necessary!

5. The KICKER: Each poem MUST BE NARRATIVE! (They must tell a story, not be declarative or idly descriptive.)


EXAMPLE:

UNacceptable - declarative:
If all you do is piss and moan
I cannot help you out one whit.

acceptable - narrative:
I bought a drink and met a guy
who told me I should fark myself.

How'd I get involved in this?

I'm glad you did, but doesn't that last one belong in the lying thread??

You said narrative, not accusative?:p

That's the NEXT thread!!

Have some control mister panties!

Aw, Spicy. :( Now you're gonna make me be the police again. The above line belongs in the Trochaic Verse thread! :p
