is first learn to use them well,
then never think about it again.

I've seen it since the meter workshop. People thought they were going back to what was comfortable, but you can hear a strengthened meter in their words.

Start simple, Google 'iambic examples', read them, remembering always, and this is crucial, that meter is based on the natrural stresses of English.

When we say-
The language is the same, only the emphasis is different
the stresses naturally occur as
The LAN/guage IS/ the SAME/, ONly the /EMphasis/ is DIFFerent
if we pronounce it as
The lanGUAGE/ is THE same/, onLY the/ emPHASis/ is diffER/ent
it sounds utterly bizarre.

When you can hear those natural stresses it becomes ridiculously easy to crit other people's meter and look clever, like I do. And not much harder to write good meter.

If you can't commit to the whole rhyme workshop you will be allowed to post examples/experiments if you contribute to the discussion on the workshop page and critique at least 3 other workshop postings for each of your own. And you need to talk to me about it first by PM, ok?
