It's lesson three

Rhythym(How do you spell it?)

Hello again, its the poetry teacher with another useless edition of poetry teacher. I have no
idea if you liked the last two because no one ever signs my guestbook. Anyway, people who want to learn
from a pro, listen up

TIP #1

Try counting sylables

Be like Shakespeare(or Shakes) and use pentameter. Ten sylables a line.
No more or less.
Example

Wrong- Yo Hamlet (3 sylables)
Right- To be or not to be, Yo Mr.Hamlet(10 sylables)

TIP #2

Don't right like you talk, talk how you write

Never say anything that has a shot rhythym( I have natural rhythm and don't have to do this
Example

Mr. Teacher- What is the answer to the question?
You- The earth revolves around sun
And is like Attila the hun
Mr. Teacher- Are you sure you are in the gifted program?

TIP #3

Don't use words which are larger than all the words in the dictionary combined

Example- Supercalafragalisticexpialadoshious
It is an octopus

As you can see, the rythym is shot and killed and made bad and who made up that word anyway?
