Frame Blade Lights
How can I recognize iambic pentameter?
Specifically for Sylvia Plath's poem "Two Sisters Of Persephone."
Two Sisters of Persephone
Two girls there are : within the house
One sits; the other, without.
Daylong a duet of shade and light
Plays between these.
In her dark wainscoted room
The first works problems on
A mathematical machine.
Dry ticks mark time
As she calculates each sum.
At this barren enterprise
Rat-shrewd go her squint eyes,
Root-pale her meager frame.
Bronzed as earth, the second lies,
Hearing ticks blown gold
Like pollen on bright air. Lulled
Near a bed of poppies,
She sees how their red silk flare
Of petaled blood
Burns open to the sun's blade.
On that green alter
Freely become sun's bride, the latter
Grows quick with seed.
Grass-couched in her labor's pride,
She bears a king. Turned bitter
And sallow as any lemon,
The other, wry virgin to the last,
Goes graveward with flesh laid waste,
Worm-husbanded, yet no woman.
For monosyllabic words, it's relatively simple: Nouns and action verbs (Poems, cat/test, work) are usually stressed. Anything that isn't necessarily important to the sentence (Think: is, was, and, but, on, by, etc.) is usually unstressed. A type someone told me for finding the stress in polysyllabic words is to say it aloud in a tone of surprise/disbelief. You'll automatically stress the proper syllables, anything else feels awkward.
Think: "FORCEfully?" "REALly?", etc.
