Catalectic trochaic tetrameter. I hope it works though as an exercise. I might come up with a pentameter attempt, who knows?

dear Judy.

Jerry, but it still sounds fine to my ear when I read it aloud.
What about you :)

If you know the rules but occasionally break them (as long as the rhythm still flows well)I think it's ok then. At the moment I am so interested in training a musical ear. I think this is a step beyond just writing with strict meter, but of course you have a point and I completely respect it.
Many thanks for the kind visit.

for any misunderstanding. I never meant to "rebuke" any of my poet-friends here or anywhere else. Please accept my apology if I unintentionally did. I've been learning meter for years now and yet I am relatively new to all this stuff if compared with the masters in this site, but I am proud of what I have already achieved. To label my ex. as an attempt is what we used to do as participants in the workshops, however, what I am seeking when I participate in each meter workshop is quite different. I have that ambition to develop as a poet with all the tools that I have each time I write.
