In which meter were shakespearean sonnets written?
Different languages have different metres as their natural sonnet line. In English, by far the commonest metre for a sonnet is Iambic Pentameter: For whom the possessed sea littered, on both shores, Ruinous arms; being fired, and for good, But Iambic Tetrameter is also found: My shrink said "lucid dreaming" tames recurring nightmares. What the bleep - And occasionally you will come across even more exotic metres.

What are the unstressed and stressed syllables of 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day'?
If you cannot hear the stresses of the syllables in lines of iambic pentameter, you need to find a piece of music with an iambic rhythm. The Christmas song "I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In" is a good one. Or the theme from The Adams Family, which is three iambs and an extra unstressed beat. Instead of singing "They're creepy and they're kooky", sing "Shall I compare thee to a" instead. Unfortunately, although there are iambic songs, most of these are not in iambic pentameter, so either you are going to have to stop in mid-tune (as you do with I Saw Three Ships, which has a phrase of eight iambs) or the music stops before the line does (as with the Adams Family, which has only three and a half iambs). However, they should give you a feel for where the stresses are. Rhythm in music and rhythm in poetry are similar in that both are easier to understand when you hear them than when you see them on a printed page.
Can you check my iambic pentameter This is my first time attempting to write in it so And so I see you standing there Wind and sun caress your hair I ask my self I ask of I What would happen if I try?
An iamb a is metric foot (unit of rhythm) in poetry consisting of two syllables: an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. The word "myself" is an example of an iamb. The first syllable of the word is unstressed and the second syllable is stressed. The best way to determine if a syllable is stressed or unstressed is to say it out loud. Your emphasis will be on the stressed syllable: myself. The above excerpt is mostly in iambic meter, however; it is difficult to determine if the "pentameter" aspect is present without seeing where lines "break." Iambic Pentameter should consist of five (5) iambs per line, which is why it is difficult to determine if the above excerpt meets this criteria without seeing those breaks. If we break it down into iambs and then into lines of five metric feet a piece, the iambs get thrown off when "there" and "Wind" (both stressed syllables) find themselves next to each other. This happens again when "I" and "What" are side-by-side:And so I see you standing there Wind andsun caress your hair I askmyselfI ask of I What would happen if I try?We might easily amend this by inserting some unstressed words (syllables) between two that are stressed as well as pare down the last line to reflect five iambics (iambic pentameter):And so I see you standing there,the windAnd sun caress your hair. I askmyself,I ask, just what would happen if I try?

I'm an English major, and when I go to start a new writing project I look for something to inspire me. If the work is based on a piece of literature I will find something in that piece that strikes me as interesting.
