Romeo and Juliet the death book I hate iambic pentameter!!!!
hey everyone
I am a high school student in an ap english class and we have an assignment where we have to take each act from Romeo and Juliet and write a 10 line blank verse poem that has to include iambic pentameter. The poem is to be written from the point of view of either Romeo or Juliet as if they are looking back on thier life as a ghost knowing that it will all end in tragedy. This is the first act's poem and i need someone to check and make sure that it is in iambic pentameter if they wouldn't mind. Thankyou so much!!!
So cruel he was to make me wed that man
I knew him not I was afraid my hand
He gave permission was not I asked weep
Oh I wept true love found not I cried my
My nurse was there and oh she begged a chance
A chance true love a chance she held my hand
The guests arrived and left was I to deal
My mother gone without a single thought
She laughs my nurse she laughs the same joke so
not funny anymore so sick of her
Thankyou to anyone who is willing,
Liz

I have changed it to cast it into iambic pentameter. It makes as much sense now as your original did, which was not much: So cruel he was to make me wed that man . I knew him not , and so I feared his hand .
