Playing with Iambic Pentameter

Do you know how to name a foot in verse?

The word I found and learned today — iamb.

It is the thing that gives this line its pulse.

You can hear it if you start out da DUM.

No stress, then stress, no stress, then stress, to ten.

And then, of course, you can break all the rules.
