• Iambic Pantemeter is the most common system in American poetry. However, I have forgotten what the hell the rhythm for that actually is so I don’t know if this is that or not. I know it doesn’t necessarily rhyme and tons of things written in that style are more like speeches or just normal writing.

    The “Now is the winter of our discontent…” speech is Iambic pantemeter.

      ironically you picked a line that starts with a trochee not an iamb!
