Sonnet Help
I need help to proof read a sonnet I'm trying to make. The problem is trying to get the iambic pentameter.
Eyes bright as the stars
As we dance by the sea
Free from the bars
We dance in glee
Though love not returned
You with another
My heart is burned
Seen as a brother
Our love in my head
My hands are clammed
Soon to be dead
My soul be damned
Soon to the gallows yet all I see
Is you and I in my memory

I'm sorry to say that what you have is nowhere near iambic pentameter. First of all, iambic pentameter requires 10 syllables in each line. Most of your lines have only four syllables, so you'll have to more than double the size of this poem to make it a sonnet.
