Poetry in action (Free verse) by Bobjim

There lives near the edge of a town, A girl who I've never seen frown, Her beauty unequalled, There can be no sequel, So, will you go out with me now?

Well, then. I hope you don't ever decide to really fuck with me. Friends now?

In Spanish, which really accents only either one or two syllables per phrase or sentence, the equivalent of iambic pentameter is called decasílabo (ie, ten syllables). Since Bobjim was talking about total syllable counts instead of feet-counts, I was trying to include that aspect. But I do know what English iambic pentameter is. Really. I swear.
