"reigned" with no break. If you are trying to fit it into iambic pentameter or are trying to do a fake medieval accent, you might say it "reign-ed" and then it would be two syllables. In general though, I would go with one. Seems less pretentious. :)
There are four syllables. Would-be-in-pain.
There are 2 syllables. Would-n't.
You would write it with two syllables like so: ap-peal.
If I were to split it into syllables, I would go; Am-e-thyst.
Well that poem would be in iambic pentameter.
There are 10 syllables in an iambic pentameter because iambic means the 1st syllable is not stressed but the 2nd one is stressed; kinda of like a heart beat (da-DUM da-DUM). pentameter comes from pentagon which is 5 so there would be 5 unstressed syllables and 5 stressed syllables (da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM).
A line of poetry that is considered iambic pentameter consists of five (penta) feet written in iambic meter (syllables follow a pattern of unstressed, stressed such as in the word intend: inTEND). A line of iambic pentameter would sound like: inTEND, inTEND, inTEND, inTEND, inTEND. An example would be: I live today for two, just me and you.
Iambic pentameter
iambic pentameter :
An iambic pentameter checker is a tool used to analyze poetic meter in a line of verse. It typically identifies the presence of five iambs (a metrical foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable) in a line of verse. To determine if a tool is an iambic pentameter checker, you would need to assess if it can accurately identify and count iambs in a given line of poetry.
Sonnet- 14 line lyric poem that is usually written in iamic pentameter and that has one of several rhyme scheme Iambic Pentameter- line of poetry of 5 iambs *Iamb- a metrical foot (unit of measure) consisting of an unstressed and stressed syllables OR IF YOU CANT UNDERSTAND THAT Iambic Pentameter- a meter in poetry. It has an unrhymed line with 5 iambs or feet. Iambic means the stress is on the second syllable; an example is the word good-bye. Pentameter shows us that a line has 5 feet or clusters of two syllables adding up to 10 syllables a line. these feet are marked like this: Hello/hello/hello/hello/hello.
Do you mean, what sort of handwriting would he use? The same handwriting he always used: secretary hand. Or do you mean "When did Shakespeare use iambic pentameter?" The answer is in sonnets and in a lot of the dialogue in his plays, when it was supposed to be more powerful.
In English sonnets are most usually written in Iambic Pentameter: each line having ten syllables, with a stress on the even-number syllables: earth HATH not ANyTHING to SHOW more FAIR dull WOULD he BE of SOUL who COULD pass BY There are other possibilities. Many sonnets are written as Iambic Hexameter (twelve syllable lines - Sidney's 'Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show') and some in Iambic Tetrameter (Catherine Chandler's Oneironaut - "My shrink said lucid dreaming tames / Recurring nightmares! What the bleep .."). There are even trochaic sonnets. But Iambic Pentameter is by far the commonest metre in an English sonnet. (Different rhythms are the default option in other languages).
There would be many candidates, from many different time periods. Shakespeare "bent" the meter quite a bit, understanding that the "sing-song" nature of pure iambic pentameter, in its purest form, becomes dull. Many others have stretched the meter quite a bit, including John Berryman, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Theodore Roethke. Technically, to be called a poem written in iambic pentameter, the lines or the cadence of the poem must be written in predominantly iambic pentameter. Given the number of poems that have come into print, it would be difficult to determine which poet "bends" the meter the most, while still categorizing the poems he or she has produced as iambic pentameter poems. In comparisons between a certain set of poets, you may have to decide this for yourself.
