What is the rhyme scheme for 'My Husband Discovers Poetry'?

If you are referring to the poem "My Husband Discovers Poetry" that is posted on this page http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/programs/2003/07/28/index.html ... there is no rhyme scheme.

Really, really interesting poem though. Thanks for asking the question so I could look it up and read it myself.

What could be the secret of success in performing in William Shakespeare's plays?

Even though the characters in the plays speak in a heightened language which is like poetry, the actor must make that language sound like it is natural and spontaneous. One way to do this is to practise viewing the lines as sentences or parts of sentences, not as lines of blank verse. The rhythm of the verse will happen anyway. Also, look for places where Shakespeare deviates from the regular rhythms of the verse. This is a signal to slow down and be emphatic.


Robert Burns poems for free to look at?

Both "Burns Country" and "Burns World Federation," graciously offer his poetry FREE for all to read and his verse are alphabetically in order. "Burns Country" has his verse in Scots Dialect; however, the "old" Scot words "pop up" for you and at the "Federation," his verse is in the original Scots Dialect and then Standard English and posted side by side to better understand. Please, do NOT miss reading his verse. Robert Burns kept the "Scot" in the "land" and "human" in "kind." Please read "Scots Wha Hae" and "A Man's A Man For A' That" for your sake. Both are only two of his poetical verse that Robert left to the 21st century person and not just Scotland!
