A quatrain of Pentemeter - second attempt attempt ( iamb meter )

Autumn is full of fruit and bright sunlight.
It brings tasty morsels ready to eat.
The beasts of earth banquet before winter
gorging, in haste, until feeling replete.

Au..tumn / is full / of fruit / and bright / sun light
it brings / ta..sty / mor..sels / rea..dy / to eat.
The beasts / of earth / ban..quet / be..fore / win..ter

Third attempt - iambic

The fall is full of fruit and bright sunlight.
It brings the sweetest taste now known to man.
The beasts of earth take heed, before the end
and eat, in haste, before the cold takes hold.

asks for reading it naturally to see where should you stress. I was going to parse the second one for you
but it is the almost the same. Make your re-arrangement and let me see. Don't worry, you can also check the dictionary to see where is the stress placed.

I've been writing in rhyme and meter all my life and haven't yet figured out the true logistics of it! I just go with what sound right to my ear and figure it will sound the same to most other ears as well, if pronounced correctly! I think you have done a marvelous job with this, so, keep on keepin' on!

Kind of you to come by to read and comment. I so love this site because they are actively teaching how to write poetry and give honest critique. I joined another site but it is no where near as good - even though it is aesthetically pleasing. I am really enjoying learning.

Thanks again Lonnie! got to go now.

Hope to see you soon.
