Never Endeavor

Felt like channeling my inner shakespeare by writing in iambic pentameter. only difference is i'm less than a hundredth of what shakespeare was and i'm pretty sure he never wrote in such a gothic tone.

First Command

The couplets are in iambic pentameter and trochaic tetrameter with masculine rhymes. i feel the turn at the end is sudden, but overall i'm happy with this one. will the **trance** follow **up** with a **fitt** ing comm **and**?

Hue and Cry

The couplet is the traditional iambic pentameter. i like using dactylic meter because it's dramatic, especially when reading it. the stressed syllables are in bold if you want to try it!

Ballad of the Otter War

This poem follows the ballad poetic structure, written entirely in iambic pentameter. some of the rhymes feel forced, but the structure calls for fourteen of the same rhyme, so i had to use a simple word to maximize my options.
