What poet who seems be using iambic pentameter bends the meter most?

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.

First answer: "There is no meter. Trying saying it as if it did have one. It doesn't work."I disagree. Longfellow was a master of meter. What I hear is iambic tetrameter (a favorite of his). However, the last line of each stanza seems to break the pattern; I hear trimeter there (with a combination of anapestic and iambic):"And the day is dark and dreary." (accented syllables bolded)

What is the rhyme scheme for Winter Dark by Lilian Moore?
Well, the rhyme scheme for this poem seems like ABCBBCDEFEGHIJKJ (and the J rhyme isn't an end rhyme, the line begins with the word "dark" which rhymes with the final word "mark." Seems weird written, but it works well within the meter. (The I line rhymes with D, but I don't think that rhyme is intentional. It doesn't work within the meter.) I found the poem at this site: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:wJHFIDnMoyoJ:www.heraldjournal.com/archives/2006/columns/js010206.html+%22Winter+Dark%22+poem&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us

How many syllables are in the word reigned?
1 Source: Prep school English teacher for 13 years. ____ As with any word, how many syllables depends on how you say it. For this word, most people would probably say it in one syllable... "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. :)
