using other forms besides iambic pentameter.

What was your intent? If you don't mind answering.

in trolling you here? in writing that poem? metrically? am I a beginner that is supposed to be learning my meters here?

I had a feeling that was a trick question... I don't know the purpose of your trolling. I would hope it is pedagogical. We all may stress different words it seems. Take the words him and her for instance... When you read Louis Carroll one can hear something others may miss... If you really know your poetry and there is evidence to support that conjecture then you may be able to elucidate some things here,

ok, well I have a feeling that me just handing you everything isn't helping you as much as figuring it out yourself would be. Yes, that first one was written to be difficult to dissect (although it really is quite simple)

it is simple enough and yet metrically interesting enough for our discussion.
